<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">THERE is one reason I believe the Australian government is right to take whatever means are necessary to stop people-smuggling boats arriving on our shores.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It’s this little face.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Omran Daqneesh is the five-year-old Syrian boy photographed in August sitting, dust-covered and in shock, in the back of an ambulance after his family’s block of flats was struck by a missile. His older brother died of injuries sustained in the attack. Omran and his parents survived.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And here’s why it matters. Nobody is paying a people-smuggler $20,000 to take Omran on a <b>boat</b> to anywhere. He is stuck in the middle of a war-zone. His only prospect of a new, better life in Australia or Canada or anywhere else is through the United Nations <b>refugee</b> infrastructure. And it’s our job to go and find him and the millions of children like him in camps around the world and bring them out; to support them to forge a better life. We can only do that with the support of all Australians if we do not have <b>refugee</b> boats sinking at sea or crashing into the cliffs.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That’s why I don’t have a problem with stamping “Never to come to Australia” on the passports of anyone who comes to Australia by <b>boat</b>, as the federal government is planning. That news is revealed in The Sunday Telegraph today by political editor Samantha Maiden.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The government’s motives are, no doubt, complex. They may be genuinely interested in taking up New Zealand on its offer to resettle 150 refugees from the 2000 languishing on Manus Island and Nauru, but the roadblock has been the fear NZ would be a backdoor to Australian citizenship and thus encourage people-smuggling to continue.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The government has a looming problem in the fact Papua New Guinea has declared the Manus facility unconstitutional, meaning it’ll have to close. And the government’s short-term political objective is, no doubt, to wedge Labor and the Greens into ever more vociferous pro-<b>refugee</b> declarations, which gives the government the opportunity to remind voters it was Labor that ­allowed the boats to restart in the first place.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">My thoughts on boats changed forever on the day in 2010 an overloaded vessel crashed into the rocks off Christmas Island in wild seas, killing most aboard.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Previously, I’d been torn about whether we should just allow all refugees in. After that moment, I was certain. This must stop. But as long as there is a prospect of reaching Australia, the boats will continue. So the first priority of Australian policy must be to stop the boats: not because we don’t want refugees, but because we don’t want to continue subsidising the ruthless death-machine that is people-smuggling.Let’s be clear. Refugees have the right to seek <b>asylum</b> in foreign countries, and we have an obligation to take our share. But along with genuine refugees will be people simply seeking a better life. That is perfectly legitimate. If I lived in Iran, I’d be trying to get out, too. If I could possibly scrape together $20,000 for a passage to Australia, I’d probably take the risk. So while I have no doubt many people-smuggler passengers are genuinely fleeing persecution, I also believe many are desperate for other reasons. If we grant them all <b>refugee</b> visas, we are guaranteeing the people-smuggler trade’s future.</p>

Peter Dutton has taken aim at the "left-wing media".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They say true leaders are born not made, but the immigration department hopes millions of dollars of taxpayer cash can change that. The Department of Immigration and Border Protection has paid Sydney-based strategic advisory company Bendelta almost $4 million for "leadership training" since Peter Dutton took over the portfolio in December 2014, it can be revealed. And the department has just signed a $2.6 million contract with Bendelta for "leadership development workshops" to be delivered over the next nine months.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Government tender documents suggest hundreds of thousands of dollars went to Bendelta since early 2015 for "scenario-based training", executive coaching and a guest speaker at a conference. Bendelta specialises in bringing "transformational change" to organisations and helping their leaders inspire their workforce. "At the heart of this is our ability to create exponential organisations by realising, harnessing and combining the unrealised human potential they possess," the company says on its website. A spokesman for the department said that, as an organisation</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">with more than 14,000 employees that has just had significant structural change, it had hired Bendelta to deliver programs "specifically tailored to our requirements". "This approach is more cost- effective than sending staff to externally available programs at a higher cost which may not be directly relevant to our circumstances," the spokesman said. The contract includes leadership and coaching programs for almost 4200 staff, ranging from junior APS3 officers to senior executives. Other departments have paid Bendelta for leadership courses but their bills have ranged between</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">$10,000 and $800,000. Contracts also show the department has embarked on a renewed "offshore" advertising campaign, spending $150,000 a month to deter <b>asylum</b> seekers considering travelling to Australia by <b>boat</b>. As previously revealed by Fairfax, the department also spent $6 million on a slick telemovie to deter would-be refugees. Last week it was revealed the department's paramilitary Australian Border Force had started a podcast to get its message out. Mr Dutton said the podcast was aimed at circumventing the "left- wing media".</p>

</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“If I had the opportunity to talk to (Malcolm) Turnbull or any of the other great Australian leaders (I would tell them that),” he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“(Trump’s) not pulling out of Asia. He knows what the world is like. He’s going to be a tougher negotiator, and will put them into US Trade Representative and State Department.” An establishment conservative, Mr Feulner said Mr Trump was his last choice among the Republican contenders, in particular because of his anti-trade rhetoric.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“But as Don Rumsfeld said, you fight the war with the army you’ve got, not the army you wish you had,” he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“All the rest of (his platform) I’d say can be squared with traditional Republican policy — even secure borders. Milton Friedman used to say you can’t have open borders if you have a welfare state.” He argued the controversies surrounding Mr Trump’s behaviour with women had obscured his Republican credentials.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Feulner also drew a parallel between Australia’s tough border security policies with Mr Trump’s plans to build a war along the US-Mexico border.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“In fact I pointed to that specific example of Australia in an earlier conversation today when we were talking about populism around the world,” he said. “Look at Australia … where they were saying if you’re from Indonesia we’re going to put you on the <b>boat</b> and send you back,” he added.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The comments come at a challenging time for Republicans, with betting markets putting Mr Trump’s chance of victory on ­November 8 at less than 20 per cent, dragged down by a barrage of scandals that have drowned out the release of Clinton campaign emails by <span class="companylink">WikiLeaks</span>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Pundits have piled in on the GOP in the lead up to the presidential poll, projecting it will be torn apart by its populist and ­establishment wings whoever wins. Norm Ornstein, a senior fellow at the right-leaning <span class="companylink">American Enterprise Institute</span>, told The Weekend Australian that the US “fairly urgently” needed to reform its governance to curb the “hyper populism” that had buoyed Mr Trump. He recommended Australia’s system of compulsory voting, saying there were two problems with the US voluntary system.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“A couple of very bad things can happen. First, the system is ­tilted to most ideological set of ­voters, and second it’s much easier for any loser to rail against the outcome as illegitimate,” he said, noting presidential election turnout was about 55 per cent.About 20 per cent of Americans say they have a favourable view of congress, less than half the share who support Mr Trump.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">AUSTRALIA has a proud multicultural history. We are a nation built on migration, and we have a proud history of accepting refugees.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A quarter of all Australians were born overseas and another 40 per cent of us, including me, have at least one parent who was born overseas.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australia accepted waves of refugees from Europe after World War II. We accepted more than 50,000 Vietnamese refugees, who arrived on leaky boats after the Vietnam War, and we provided sanctuary for Kosovars during the war in Yugoslavia in the late 1990s.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australia’s generous humanitarian <b>refugee</b> intake is widely acknowledged, but war, conflict and persecution around the world have driven the number of displaced people to record levels. The Australian Government’s response has been to implement hard-line policies that have been criticised as cruel and inhumane.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australia’s resettlement policy is dysfunctional, expensive, and subject to international criticism. We are paying $573,000 per detainee, per year, to indefinitely incarcerate about 2000, including women and children, offshore on Manus Island and Nauru. Despite the huge cost to the taxpayer, and to our global reputation, there is still no end in sight for the people whose lives are trapped in indefinite limbo by our cruel and expensive policy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The hardening of the policy has been driven by domestic scare campaigns, populism, and a cultivated indifference to the effect we are having on these people. By detaining the refugees offshore, denying access to Australian media, and gagging Australians who work in the camps, the Government has done its best to keep refugees out of sight and out of mind. This was brought home recently by the ABC’s Four Corners program about child refugees on Nauru, which gave the children a voice and a face, revealing they are just like us — full of hope and dreams, and the desire to go to school, get a job, and make a better life for themselves and their families.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Under the 1951 <b>Refugee</b> Convention, which Australia has signed, we have a duty of care to prevent harm to the refugees who come here, especially children. As the Government has found no viable third-party options to resettle the refugees on Manus and Nauru, Australia has a duty of care to bring them here to be settled in our community. This would allow them to access appropriate healthcare and education, and end the anxiety and despair of a life in limbo. It would cost far less than paying $573,000 to detain each <b>refugee</b> offshore in a camp each year.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As <b>refugee</b> advocate Father Frank Brennan highlighted, the indefinite warehousing of people in offshore detention is not necessary for government to discourage refugees from coming here by <b>boat</b>, because Australia is now successfully interdicting <b>refugee</b> boats leaving from Indonesia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australia is viewed as a regional leader in the Asia-Pacific, and it should play a leadership role in resolving the challenges of this global crisis. Participating with countries on a regional solution that focuses on refugees as humans in need of protection would be a start. We have done it before, and I hope we can return to the days when we welcomed refugees, and they were allowed to enrich our society and our economy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Last month, the <span class="companylink">UN General Assembly</span> held a high-level <b>refugee</b> summit to bring countries together around one plan — to express the political will to save lives, protect rights and share responsibility on a global scale. This New York Declaration, as it was named, was the first time world leaders had come together to discuss refugees since the original UN <b>Refugee</b> Convention was drafted in 1951. It explored solutions to the crisis, aiming to come up with a more humane, co-ordinated strategy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As a participant, I heard so much goodwill from so many developed countries willing to act on the world’s migration challenges. Australia agreed to bold commitments of the declaration that include a concrete plan to negotiate a global compact for a safe, orderly and regular migration solution to be agreed at a conference in 2018.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This is a chance for us to engage with like-minded countries on shared challenges, such as regional arrangements where countries share the responsibility of <b>refugee</b> settlement. This would be a far cry from Australia’s current policy of using our neighbours as human dumping grounds, at a cost of billions of dollars every year.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australia’s <b>refugee</b> policy is in limbo, just like the people detained on Nauru and Manus Island. While Australia continues breaching human rights obligations to these refugees, we are in no position to negotiate in good faith on future regional or global <b>refugee</b> arrangements, nor improve our reputation. In the lead-up to Australia’s bid for a seat on the <span class="companylink">UN Human Rights Council</span> in 2018, our protection of the rights of these most vulnerable people should be at the forefront of our policy approach, for humanity’s sake.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Human rights came under a spotlight this month when three investigations, by the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child, <span class="companylink">Amnesty International</span> and the ABC’s Four Corners, independently targeted the heartbreaking plight of about 50 child refugees on Nauru.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They are among more than 1200 <b>asylum</b>-seekers corralled there or on Manus Island for trying to get to Australia by <b>boat</b>. They declined Government requests that they resettle in Cambodia or return to the country they fled from.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The toughest measure of global citizenship is climate policy. Last year’s Paris Agreement calls on us and the other 190 signatory nations to achieve results not just for this generation, but for those to come — decades and even centuries ahead. That takes real vision.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australia is not short of people with vision, including some in government service. Over the past 10 years Australian diplomats and scholars have played a big part in the task of developing international carbon mitigation instruments.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One of these is Howard Bamsey, a Canberra-based academic and climate policy specialist, who has been co-chairman of the UN’s Dialogue on Long-term Co-operative Action on Climate Change, and Australia’s climate change envoy under Kevin Rudd.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A fortnight ago Bamsey landed one of the toughest gigs on the planet: executive director of the UN’s Green Climate Fund, based in South Korea. Next week the Paris Agreement comes into force, and this agency has a pivotal role in making it work.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Bamsey must ensure richer countries honour their pledges to provide $100 billion a year by 2020 to help developing countries tackle climate change. He has to get money flowing into 100-odd projects in the pipeline. So far the fund has disbursed just $5.4 million.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The <span class="companylink">European Union</span>, the US, China and 81 other countries have ratified the Paris Agreement, which means it becomes legally binding on Friday week. The process took less than 11 months, as against nearly eight years for the Kyoto Protocol. Australia, which has not ratified, is out in the cold.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Despite Government claims, Australia’s 2030 emissions target of 26-28 per cent below 2005 levels is well below what multiple authorities, including the Climate Change Authority in 2015, contend would be a fair contribution to keeping the world below 2C.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">However, that all took a hit when John Howard rejected Afghan <b>boat</b> people and then refused to ratify the Kyoto climate protocol.

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Does Gillian Triggs’s Human Rights Commission have a ­problem with speaking the truth? And do many in the media no longer support free speech, and worse are they prepared to ­knowingly publish falsehoods in pursuit of political ends?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As News Corp columnist ­Andrew Bolt pointed out in his blog on Thursday morning, the list of Triggs’s interventions in which the truthfulness and objectivity of the commission’s work has been questioned is now long indeed.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That Thursday morning this paper carried on page one just the latest. Triggs claimed she was misquoted by Ramona Koval in a piece in The Saturday Paper, but that paper’s editor, Erik Jensen, said the tape showed the paper’s quotes were accurate.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Jensen should have been proud of his paper standing up for truth, but by Saturday he was publishing a mawkish editorial trying to excuse himself for causing Triggs a problem. And worse, in a page one story about <b>asylum</b>- seekers and the culture war, both the headline and the entire page three spill perpetuated the mistake made by the ABC’s Four ­Corners program on Monday.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That is the lie that people are being held in detention on Nauru. Physical detention was ended more than a year ago as all ­journalists should know, yet Four Corners showed people behind wire fences.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">To my mind the HRC’s most egregious crime under Triggs was its 2014 report, The Forgotten Children: National Inquiry into Children in Immigration Detention. This report into the offshore processing regime was supported by both the second Rudd ­government and the then Abbott government.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Triggs admitted in a Senate ­Estimates hearing in late 2014 that she had discussed the timing of the report with two previous Labor ministers for immigration and had agreed to delay her ­inquiry until after the then forthcoming election.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Abbott government ­rightly accused the commission of politicising its work when its ­report was released a year into the new government’s term. Labor had come to power in late 2007 with only a handful of people in detention.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It had softened John Howard’s Pacific solution and 50,000 ­<b>asylum</b>-seekers had come by <b>boat</b> in just over five years. The number of children in detention had hit 2000.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor, which appointed Triggs in 2012, had also presided over the deaths of 1200 people at sea.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Triggs’s report really did not acknowledge any of this or that the successful policy of turning back boats under then new Liberal minister for immigration Scott Morrison in late 2013 and 2014 had stopped the flow of ­<b>asylum</b>-seekers. Nor did the commission give the Abbott government credit for reducing the number of children in detention to less than 200 by the time of the HRC report’s release.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is clear the answer to the first question in my intro is a re­sounding yes. And I think the reason the commission’s behaviour has so often been transparently dishonest is also clear, but less ­obvious to the public.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As this paper’s columnist ­Jennifer Oriel pointed out last Monday, the modern Left, motivated by identity politics and the marginalisation of the enlightenment ideas of truth, evidence, ­majority rule and rational legal ­argument, now seeks to obscure facts and downplay objective ­reason to achieve its political aims.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The commission was set up by the Hawke Labor government in 1986 and is just one of a series of extrajudicial bodies that seeks to drive a progressive political ­agenda in public policy through the development of new forms of international law and treaties.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But just as the old Left misjudged the appeal of international socialism to the working class and underestimated the attraction of aspiration and achievement, it seems likely the modern Left agenda will eventually fall flat when the wider public wakes up to what is going on.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Hopefully the commission’s decision a fortnight ago to accept a complaint under Section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act over a Bill Leak cartoon published on August 4 will be enough to stir the public into action.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Many are starting to realise something evil is being done in our country under the guise of protecting the feelings of minority groups. The modern thought police really do have power.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yet it is remarkable how few in the media have been prepared to defend either Leak or, five years earlier, Bolt, who was prosecuted over two articles he wrote about part-Aboriginals. While there have been honourable exceptions in the past fortnight such as Brett McCarthy, editor of The West Australian newspaper, and his ­editor-in-chief Bob Cronin, the ABC and Fairfax have for a couple of years largely ignored the behaviour of Triggs, who they see as a compassionate fighter against an unjust <b>asylum</b> seeker detention system.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So what does the Leak investigation tell us about the commission and the media’s attitude to free speech?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">First, the HRC is more inter­ested in the hurt feelings of Aboriginal people who take care of their children than it is in the ­actual fate of children in the criminal justice system who have been the victims of family dysfunction. Remember the catalyst for the cartoon was Four Corners’ rev­elations about Darwin juvenile ­offender Dylan Voller and the Don Dale Detention Centre.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Second, it says HRC commissioners, such as this newspaper’s former columnist Tim Soutphommasane, are prepared to beat the drum publicly to obtain complaints so the HRC can suppress free thought and protect the ­feelings of minority groups.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This newspaper has been the dominant force nationally in reporting Aboriginal disadvantage since the early 1990s. It won a Walkley Award for Rosemary Neill for a piece about violence against Aboriginal women and children by Aboriginal men in the early 1990s and was condemned way back then for racial stereotyping. So the HRC and its friends in the media have learned nothing in the past 25 years about what is really happening in the worst cases in remote Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Triggs and Soutphommasane should read the 2007 Little Children Are Sacred report if they want to see problems for oppressed children. But of course that would not have the desired political ­effect its inquiry into children in offshore detention did.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Australian should be applauded for its legal stand against the Leak persecution. It has used the behaviour of Soutphom­masane in drumming up complaints through the Fairfax press to nail the commission for its ­blatant bias.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Third, the Leak inquiry shows yet again how right Bolt and ­Attorney-General George Brandis have been about the need for the HRC to defend the most fundamental right of all in any democracy, the right to free expression. How typical that many in the media mocked Brandis’s appointment in 2014 of Tim Wilson as Freedom Commissioner.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On <span class="companylink">Twitter</span> and in the Left media he was regularly derided as “Freedom Boy”. But he gained ­redemption when as a new ­Member of Parliament for the Victorian seat of Goldstein in his maiden speech he cried as he ­lamented that as a gay man he could not marry the young man he lived with. Instant Left redemption followed. Freedom Boy was OK after all.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The problem is free speech should not be just for people you agree with. And if newspaper ­editors and senior journalists, not just flaky Twitterati, can’t support the freedom of Leak to draw a ­cartoon that accurately portrays the situation some young Aust­ralians find themselves in, I would have to suggest they leave ­journalism and try social work or academia, where repressing the truth and distrusting the wisdom of the majority of Australians are now the norm.As Leak told Lateline host Emma Alberici on the ABC last Thursday night: “I think 18C is an abomination. Look I can only ­assume that a lot of people ­genuinely believe that freedom of speech means the legal right to hurl abuse. Freedom of speech is what created our civil and free ­society. It is all about ... letting ­people express their views in the marketplace of ideas.”</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After spending a year in the detention room of Istanbul's Ataturk Airport, Fadi Mansour smiles when he sees a plane passing over his head near Melbourne Airport. His arduous journey spanning over a year and several countries underscores the lengths he went to in escaping the worsening turmoil in Syria, the source of the largest number of refugees worldwide. Mansour, 28, was resettled in Australia in June after the Australian government granted him a humanitarian visa. "I saw so many take-offs and landings from the airport and would think how it is amazing that people have the freedom to fly," he tells <span class="companylink">Fairfax Media</span> at a busy Essendon cafe, in his first interview since arriving in Australia. He had flown on several planes himself. Carrying a fake Brazilian passport for which he paid a smuggler nearly $US10,000, he was deported from Lebanon, Turkey and Malaysia while trying to reach Germany.Turkish authorities apprehended him in the "Problematic Passengers Area" of Ataturk Airport in March last year before transferring him to a detention centre in Adana, south-eastern Turkey. After a sustained international campaign that human rights group <span class="companylink">Amnesty International</span> spearheaded, he and his family made it to Melbourne. "I feel at home here," the shy law student from the Syrian city of Homs says. "Melbourne is my home town now." Finishing compulsory military service days before the start of the revolution, he took to the streets of Homs to call for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's removal. Events turned bloody quickly when Assad's forces starting firing on protesters and rebel groups started receiving weaponry and funding from power brokers including the United States, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Since the start of Syria's descent into a grinding civil war, nearly 300,000 people have been killed and over 4 million displaced. "No one is innocent. They are</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">not doves of peace. All sides are benefiting from this war," Mansour says. He was called up to join the reserves of the Syrian national army facing off against the rebels. With groups such as Jabhat Fatah al- Sham, formerly known as <span class="companylink">Jabhat al- Nusra</span> and an offshoot of al-Qaeda, adding to the carnage, he decided to take off to Lebanon in August 2012. Lebanon hosts more than 1 million Syrian refugees. Mansour recounted how an amateur gang kidnapped him in southern Beirut. He was released after paying a ransom to his captors. "We couldn't live properly with our dignity intact as Syrians. If you are a Syrian there, may God be with you". In November 2014, after receiving news that <span class="companylink">Jabhat al-Nusra</span> had killed one of his closest friends in Homs, he boarded a plane for Istanbul planning to go to Kuala Lumpur. He wanted to seek <b>asylum</b> in Frankfurt but was deterred from boarding a <b>boat</b> by the many deaths of refugees in the Mediterranean Sea. "Half die on the sea, sadly, and I thought a plane would be safer. Every method of travel has been thought of by a Syrian to get out of that hell." After months in Istanbul and Kuala Lumpur waiting for his smuggler's go-ahead to board a <span class="companylink">Lufthansa</span> flight to Frankfurt, Malaysian authorities kept him under arrest for four days in abhorrent</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">conditions at KL airport. He was then deported to Istanbul in February 2015, where Turkish authorities housed him with Islamist sympathisers who he claims, were foreign fighters heading to Syria. "One of them assaulted me violently three times because he found out I was Christian. He tried to convert me incessantly. I felt vulnerable and alone." There were brief moments of levity that came later, though, when he found a large black coat left by another detainee that he now sports in Melbourne and a couple of bottles of whisky: "They got me through the</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">severe cold, and hamburgers too." After a year in detention and a series of deportations, he took to social media to tell of his struggle and, in the meantime, applied for <b>asylum</b> in Australia, where he already had a relative. Australia agreed to take 12,000 Syrian and Iraqi refugees as part of its humanitarian program last year. A Department of Immigration official declined to comment on whether Mansour was included in the government's one-off commitment. Mansour's waiting drew comparisons in international news coverage with Tom Hanks' movie The Terminal, which he watched for the first time while in detention. The movie was based on the case of Mehran Karimi Nasseri, an Iranian <b>refugee</b> who had spent 18 years at Paris' Charles De Gaulle Airport. "I wanted to tell Tom Hanks, come and watch me. If he only knew half of what happened to me," he recounts. After raising the alarm about his year in detention, Turkish officials told him he was being released. "We were going through passport control but I had to wait for hours for the border guards to process</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">the dogs of passengers from other flights ... I couldn't help but laugh." On March 23, he was handcuffed and transferred to Adana Removal Centre. "There was no hope any more. I was completely shattered at this point. The waiting had taken a toll on me and things were getting from bad to worse." Australian immigration officials had met with him in Adana assuring him his application was on track, taking photos and fingerprints. "It's the photo I have on my immigration card here now. I look so sad and tired. I couldn't even crack a smile after all the ordeals." In June, Mansour was granted <b>asylum</b> and was boarding a plane for Melbourne in Istanbul when a border guard jokingly asked him to take him on the flight. "I felt like I was at home in the plane because I had taken so many flights. What was another two hours transiting in Dubai in a year of waiting?" Mansour was reunited with his family a month after landing. They had escaped from Homs via Beirut to Melbourne after being granted humanitarian visas. Until he can find employment, he has enrolled in English classes with the aim of getting back into studying law. "I want to work as soon as possible and give back to Australia," he says. For now, his days are spent going to various physicians who are helping with his personal trauma: "I don't watch TV for my own mental well-being. I feel helpless that I can't do anything for my people suffering."He has settled into a rhythm of voluntary work with his local Orthodox church and has been familiarising himself with Melbourne's sporting culture, playing basketball at an outdoor court near his home. "I experience moments when I pinch myself that I am really here," he says. As he slowly adjusts to life in Australia, trying to move past his ordeal, Mansour is mindful that his second home, the airport, is never too far away. "The plane is a part of me now."</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The mother and daughter wept and prayed and clutched each other's hands as they started to drown.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In 2013, Tala and her family were travelling from Indonesia to Australia by <b>boat</b> when the wooden vessel capsized. They were among about 200 mostly Middle Eastern <b>asylum</b> seekers who were thrown into the water without life jackets. Most were unable to swim.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Tala lost her mother's grip when Australian Navy personnel hauled her out of the ocean, then transported her to Christmas Island with her brother and father.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For days she waited, hoping her mother would appear at the detention camp. But her hopes were dashed when authorities asked her identify her mother's body.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I lost my angel on this bloody day . . . even the sky cried for me," Tala says of the loss. "It is hard to see your mum for the last time."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Tears stream down Tala's face as she relays these painful details. Usually, the 18-year-old avoids sharing her memories. She is determined to be a strong and stable force for her younger brother, over whom she has been given full guardianship after their father abandoned them months after their arrival.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But Tala wants people to know her story. The year 12 student at Lalor North College acknowledges that, among the nearly 85,000 Victorians sitting their VCE exams from this week, her case is unique.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I lost my everything. I lost my mum, I lost my dad but, on the other hand, I became a different person," Tala says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I'm strong enough, I try my best . . . I want to be positive." Every day, Tala cooks for her 15-year-old brother, travels with him to and from school, and studies nightly - between 6pm and 3am - fitting in a few hours sleep before a 6.30am start. She started learning English just two years ago and tries to broaden her vocabulary and pick up Australian slang, while studying for her high-stakes exams.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">She lives in Victoria's north, in accommodation for unaccompanied minors, and has a budget of $140 in fortnightly government funding to cover basic expenses such as food, textbooks, internet access and myki passes.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Tala switches between different roles: the popular friend with a funny accent who wears fashionable outfits; the diligent, sometimes cheeky student, who once greeted her principal with a newly acquired saying: "What's cookin' good lookin'?"; and the orphaned <b>refugee</b>, who finds solace walking through the Coburg cemetery, alone. "I just sit next to the graves and cry," Tala says, noting that her mother was buried in Iran.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Tala's mother tried to smuggle her children out of Iran three years ago to escape their violent father.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">She recalls her mother locking her in a room - sometimes for a few days - while the raging patriarch beat his wife. The father followed his family to Australia, Tala says, to protect his honour at home. He returned to Iran months after their arrival to marry his cousin.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Despite her precarious position in Australia (Tala and her brother are waiting to be granted a Temporary Protection Visa) she has a clear vision for her future in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">She wants to study biomedical science or nursing but, like many refugees without Australian citizenship, she has been locked out of the major universities, where she has to pay international student fees (about $40,000 a year). Without citizenship, she is not eligible for scholarships or fee relief, so she must consider vocational options.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I want to be a nurse in the Australian navy," Tala says. "I lost my mum at sea, and I want to help people to survive."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Tala printed a series of photos after arriving in Australia. Each image pinpoints a life goal. She has a photo of high school students wearing blazers, Melbourne University's Parkville entrance, wedding flowers, a female doctor, and a smiling baby.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I didn't let this drama destroy my life. This is what makes me who I am today."</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">'Son, you must walk on ... don't look back.' Daw Ni's dying words to 11-year-old Colin</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">C olin McPhedran, who endured too much torment too early, has been gone for six years now. But this gentle man, who lived most of his life in the Southern Highlands of NSW because the hills reminded him of his lost childhood home in Burma, has left behind a story that will never die. It is a story with such power that more than 70 years after it occurred, four men from Melbourne are setting out in a few months to retrace its long and painful path and to film a documentary of it to help the women and children of today's Myanmar, previously named Burma. Colin McPhedran struggled out of Burma, a child barely alive, in 1942. Tens of thousands of others died on the same little-known journey, one of the most harrowing <b>refugee</b> tragedies in world history. Now, psychologist Michael Clarebrough, paramedic Kevin Commins, blacksmith and adventurer Jacob Garrett, and filmmaker Kenton Reeder are preparing to honour McPhedran</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">and the forgotten thousands of dead, by trekking McPhedran's old torturous path. Their purpose is to raise money for Melbourne's Burnet Institute, which runs programs to reduce the dreadful loss of Myanmar's mothers and babies. The arithmetic of these continuing deaths is as confronting as that near-forgotten <b>refugee</b> catastrophe. In a country where 80 per cent of mothers give birth without a midwife, the chance of a woman dying from pregnancy-related causes in Myanmar is one in 33. An estimated 2400 pregnant women and 70,000 children die every year. The <span class="companylink">Burnet Institute</span>, with the help of Melbourne's four trekkers and those of us prepared to support them, aims to reduce these figures substantially. The means by which you might help are at the end of this column. Colin McPhedran kept the horror of his own flight from Burma - and horror is not a word misused - a secret for more than 40years lest it haunt his Australian-born children.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He told me years ago he kept it a secret even from himself for decades because he was afraid it could destroy him</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">if he confronted it. In the end, he faced it down. In 2002, his book White Butterflies was published.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is the story of McPhedran as a boy, aged 11, fleeing the advance of Japanese troops. With him were his high-born</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Burmese mother and an older sister and brother. The trail they chose, 450 kilometres from north-west Burma across the Hukawng Valley, over the mountains of the Patkai range and to the Indian border, was named later by US General Joseph Stilwell as "the path to hell". No one knows quite how many desperate Burmese, Indian and British citizens died along this track, but most sources put the toll at more than 20,000, and some as high as 50,000. The name chosen by McPhedran for his book, white butterflies, is deceptive. It concerns the first body he saw on the trek. He thought it had been treated with reverence, for it appeared to be draped in a white shroud. But as he approached, a cloud of white butterflies rose. They had been feasting on the body. Starving, increasingly weakened, the monsoon turning rivers to torrents and valleys to deep mud, and mountains confronting them, Colin's family - abandoned by Colin's own father, a Scottish oil man - began perishing, one by one. First Colin's brother, having spent his energy trying to keep his family moving, died on the trail. Then his mother, Daw Ni, was unable one morning to rise to her feet. She gathered her boy to her and spoke words that would never leave him. "The world is full of good people," she told Colin, adding she believed he would find people who would care for him. "Son," she</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">ordered, "you must walk on ... don't look back." Colin cared for his sister through the long slogging agony that followed, thousands of fellow refugees dying around them. And then, within sight of the Indian border, the boy could not go on. He lay in the mud, waiting for the end of his short life. And, as if in a hallucination, one of those good people his mother had promised appeared. A Scottish tea planter named Alisdair Tainsch Gyles Mackrell mounted many rescue expeditions using Indian workers and elephants into what became known as the Valley of Death between May and September 1942. Mackrell came across Colin and his sister and carried them into India. Too late. Colin's sister died within hours of the rescue. Colin, aged 11, was alone in a strange country. Yet good people kept appearing, and a good school took him in and he began to heal, both physically and emotionally. He eventually discovered another monstrous pain: his father had another secret family, and had escaped Burma to England with them, leaving Colin, his mother, his sister and his brother to their fate. Wishing to be far from everything, Colin took a <b>boat</b> to Australia. He became a respected man around Bowral, in the Southern Highlands, raised his own family, became a Buddhist, and wrote a book. He is gone now, but early next year, the memory of him is sending good men along his old path to help the women and children of the country he left behind.

Most have been there for more than three years.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There is no reason for them to hope that they won't be there for another three years, or 10, or a lifetime - unless they agree to return to the countries from which, usually for good reason, they fled in the first place. Theoretically, they are no longer detained. They can go where they like, within the rather strict limits imposed by thousands of kilometres of open ocean.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Nauruans charge $8000 to process an application by an Australian for a journalist's visa. If the application is refused - as by far the majority are - this money is not refundable. In recent years only the Nine Network's A Current Affair, and The Australian's Chris Kenny, have been granted visas. For the most part, therefore, the mental suffering being inflicted on the people whom Australia chose to banish to Nauru continues out of sight of the Australian public, and largely out of mind.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was this curtain of secrecy that the ABC's Four Corners sought to lift in last Monday's program, The Forgotten Children. Interviews with former teachers from <span class="companylink">Save the Children</span>, and with their pupils on Nauru, conducted secretly via Skype, painted a powerful and moving picture of the human cost of Australia's policy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Predictably, the Nauruan government launched a fierce attack on the program. Predictably, Coalition politicians and ministers in Australia joined in. And just as predictably, those criticisms were relayed, with the minimum of scrutiny, by <span class="companylink">News Corporation</span>'s The Australian and by Nine's A Current Affair.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Nauruan government complained that Four Corners used old footage of fighting. Some of the footage has been posted on <span class="companylink">YouTube</span>, although Four Corners says it did not source it from <span class="companylink">YouTube</span> but directly from Nauru. The program made it perfectly clear that this was generic footage, used to illustrate first-hand claims, by refugees and former teachers, that violence is distressingly common on Nauru. Those claims are the point, not where the footage came from.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In the same way, the Nauruan government claimed that Four Corners used old footage of faeces-smeared toilets at the local school, and not footage of spanking new classrooms. Four Corners responds that the footage gave an accurate picture of the condition of Nauru's secondary schools when <b>refugee</b> children first started going there; that the new classrooms are in a primary school, and have only just opened; and in any case, as reporter Deb Whitmont made clear in the program, it isn't the condition of the toilets that keeps <b>refugee</b> children from going to school, but fear of violence and bullying by Nauruan children who don't want them there.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A Current Affair's main complaint seems to be that Four Corners did not acknowledge that it had gained access to Nauru four months ago, and did not seek to use its footage. Four Corners says it didn't need Nine's footage to tell its story.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And so on. It's all a bit unseemly. Of course the Oz and ACA can claim that they're only reporting what the government of Nauru - backed by the government of Australia - is saying. But it seems strange to me that the age-old "blame the messenger" strategy is so often aided and abetted by the Australian media itself - especially when the topic is <b>boat</b> people or offshore processing.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Earlier this year, I wrote that I personally couldn't see a viable alternative to Australia's "Pacific solution" - and was accused of everything from racism to moral blindness as a result. You would certainly have to be morally blind not to acknowledge - as I did then, and do now - that that policy is having a devastating effect on the few hundred souls who are its primary victims. Especially on the children.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It's also clear their suffering is not primarily the fault of the people, or government, of Nauru. That is why Four Corners sought neither to interview a representative of the Nauruan government, nor to blame it. Australia sent those people to Nauru, and it is Australia (its people, and the politicians of its major parties) that are responsible for the consequences.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When Four Corners confronts us with the human cost of the policies that most of us support, it seems to me that it's only doing its job.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When Australia's treatment of <b>refugee boat</b> people feels heartbreaking perhaps it helps the bleeding hearts among us (this reporter is one of them) to do some therapeutic "heart-making". Artist Penny Ryan's contribution to the Tuggeranong Arts Centre's Seeking Refuge exhibition is her participatory installation Open Hearts. She prepared for the installation with a "heart-making workshop" the aim being to make 1468 terracotta hearts, one for each <b>refugee</b> languishing on Nauru and on Manus Island. Now visitors to Seeking Refuge are invited to unwrap one of the cloth-wrapped hearts, to place that naked heart with all the other unwrapped ones in the centre of the installation, to write a message of support on the cloth and then to fix it to the fence (representing enclosure) that is part of the installation. This reporter, while conscious of doing a masturbatory, feel-good, bleeding-heart thing that will not touch a single heart of ice in Australian government or opposition and that won't help refugees in the slightest, duly took part in the artist's prescribed ritual. One of Barak Zelig's contributions to the passionate, angry and a little despairing Seeking Refuge is his tiny clay and plastic Large <b>boat</b> for a few people. It is so tiny that,</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">standing on a white-painted windowsill, it looks as though it is afloat on a flat expanse of white ocean. The little work requires quite a long, close stickybeak, the artist explained to this reporter. Look closely at the jet-black human figures and you'll find that there are men, women and children among them. Seasickness is plainly tormenting some of them. By their dress some of them are soldiers because, Zelig is saying, in these terrible <b>boat</b> people <b>refugee</b> circumstances the distinction between fighter and civilian is often blurred. He says that their jet blackness suggests that they are smothered in crude oil, a symbolic reference to how oil conflicts (for example in Libya and Iraq) are part of the horrors that Mediterranean region refugees are fleeing from. And another reason for the total blackness of everyone is that by making them all the same (no varieties of complexion and dress) they're given what Zelig calls a "universality". They are all alike just as all members of mankind are alike, meaning that all of us should think of them as brothers and sisters we should care about and work to help. There (desperately bobbing about on the sea in fragile boats) but for the grace of God, but for happenstance, go all of us. Seeking Refuge (and in the space next door Stephen Harrison's entertaining, worrying and horsey Equus Homo) continues at the Tuggeranong Arts Centre until Saturday, October 29.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">From 1949 to 2007, Australian federal governments were defeated at the polls on only five occasions. Voters' reluctance to rock the political <b>boat</b> over those six decades was not necessarily a reflection of great satisfaction with politics. Rather it was a symptom of their desire for, at least, stability.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A one-term government was unthinkable then. Governments were generally regarded as committed to nation-building and governing in accordance with a set of transparent political values. Leaders were not embarrassed to talk about their sense of vision and purpose; political idealism was expected.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But since 2007 no prime minister has survived his or her government's full term. The Liberal-National Coalition government was returned to office in 2016 with the slimmest possible majority - one seat - in the House of Representatives, surviving only through the strong showing of the minor Coalition partner. The Liberal Party itself lost 13 seats and now holds just 45 in its own right, compared with Labor's 69.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But there's a deeper truth to be discerned in the 2016 election result: the days of political stability are over, at least for the time being. The power of incumbency has waned. The recent defeat of first-term governments in Victoria, Queensland and the Northern Territory is a sign of scepticism, disillusionment and increasing alienation in the electorate.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is as if there are now two contrary currents running through Australian politics. On the surface, the major parties carry on as if they are the invincible primary force. They act increasingly like institutions corrupted by their own power, determined to protect their territory and to preserve their sources of funding. They look inward, not outward, for their sense of direction.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Like so many other institutions in Australia - the churches, mass media and trade unions - political parties are suffering a major slump in public esteem and respect. Party memberships are dwindling. Voters are more likely to swing than ever before. In response, parties resort to simplistic slogans in a desperate attempt to recapture lost hearts and minds.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Those slogans are a major part of the problem. Not only the words themselves - "stop the boats", "jobs and growth", "continuity and change" - but the mentality that says political leaders and parties are brands. When voters see political parties being marketed like <span class="companylink">Coca-Cola</span> , the whole political process is trivialised in their minds.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If you think the most creative and best-funded ad campaign can win you an election, then you have lost sight of the very essence of democracy. If you think a slogan can capture the minds of voters, then you have abdicated any right to be taken seriously. Perhaps if politicians treated their opponents with the respect due to them as legitimately elected members of <span class="companylink">Parliament</span>, voters might re-engage and take them more seriously.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But the undertow is also a reaction to the failure of too many contemporary politicians to accept responsibility for moral as well as political leadership, their failure to inspire and to engage us in the process of dreaming of a better world while articulating strategies for getting there.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Following Paul Keating's loss of office in 1996, "the vision thing" became a term of opprobrium in Canberra. Ever since, politics has lacked what Keating called the "overarching narrative", a coherent story that would bring all the strands of policy together and help people make sense of what was happening to them and to society.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Instead, society has become "the economy". Ideals have too often given way to raw pragmatism. Concepts like equity, fairness and egalitarianism have become lost in the rapidly growing chasm between high and low income earners, with Australia's gap now well above the <span class="companylink">OECD</span> average. Short-term populism has swamped serious long-term planning for a sustainable future.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There was a glimpse of moral leadership when Kevin Rudd declared that global warming was the greatest moral challenge of our time. But there was no convincing policy follow-through. When Rudd then sought to reduce the fuel excise so motorists would not be hit too hard by rising fuel costs, the citizenry assumed he was not serious. Public consciousness of the issue quickly evaporated.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
Malcolm Turnbull excited the nation fleetingly when he deposed Tony Abbott in 2015. That excitement - indeed euphoria - arose from the expectation that this was the kind of leader Australians were waiting for. On both sides of politics there was momentary confidence that Turnbull would offer just the kind of visionary, small "l" liberalism Australia needed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was a moment when citizens' faith in the idea of real reform might have been reignited. In everything from global warming, tax reform or marriage equality to poverty and homelessness, or stopping the shameful mental torture being inflicted on <b>asylum</b> seekers, Turnbull seemed to offer the promise of a fresh start.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Alas, like Rudd, the over-investment in Turnbull was soon exposed and a searing sense of disappointment set in. And so the power of the undertow was restored. The sense of disconnection was reinforced. Disappointment finally gave way to a shrug of despair.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But perhaps there's an even deeper undercurrent operating here.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australia's epidemics of anxiety and depression suggest that all is not well. There are many reasons for that, but a big contributor is that, in spite of the information technology revolution - and, in part, because of it - and at a time when a deeply uncertain future demands strong social cohesion, Australians have become more socially fragmented.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Humans are, by nature, social creatures. We need a strong sense of belonging to communities if we are to experience the sort of wellbeing we yearn for.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Budget repair is an urgent and worthy goal, but not a lofty one. It is only when politicians begin to address human needs for sustainable wellbeing - social, cultural and moral, as well as economic - that we will start listening again. The rest is noise.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The 22,199 organ donor registrations — including 538 in Tasmania — in August in response­ to our celebrity-led campaign is a 78 per cent increase on the year before.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And it builds on the 19,586 new organ donor registrations in July that occurred when the government promoted organ donation as part of donate life week. “The 42,000 registrations over the July-August period this year represents the highest ever number of monthly registrations on the Australian Organ Donation Register,” Assistant Minister for Health Ken Wyatt said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Registration is important because it leaves families in no doubt of your decision.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It is terrific to see that the efforts across government, the community and the media to raise awareness of organ and tissue donation has had a direct­ impact on registration and organ donation in Aus­tralia.” <span class="companylink">News Corp</span> is campaigning to encourage people to give the ultimate gift after finding only one in three Aussies have signed up to donate their org­ans when they die. We badly trail countries such as Spain, the world leader in organ donation, which has a deceased organ donation rate twice that of Australia’s.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Our three-year investigat­ion into the issue found nearly 100 Australians have travelled overseas to spend up to $120,000 on illegal kidney transplants because of a drastic shortage of donated organs in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The impoverished people who sold their kidneys received just $800 of this amount with doctors, corrupt bureaucrats and criminal gangs getting the bulk of the proceeds.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
<span class="companylink">Griffith University</span> academic Campbell Fraser has evidence the terror group ISIS is involved in the organ trade, encouraging people to sell their kidneys to get their families to Europe and using the proceeds to fund terrorism.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And <b>refugee</b> groups say people are selling their organs to pay to get on a <b>boat</b> to come to Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Experts say encouraging people to donate their organs is one way to solve the ghastly illegal trade.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The dramatic increase in organ donation registrations that followed the publication of the story translated to Australia achieving its second highest ever monthly number of deceased organ donors and transplant recipients in Aug­ust, with 53 deceased organ donors­ transforming the lives of 143 transplant recipients.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Between January and Aug­ust this year a record 958 Australians received lifesaving transplants through the generosity of 329 deceased organ donors­ and their families.This represents a 24 per cent increase in the number of transplant recipients and a 20 per cent increase in the number of deceased organ donors­ compared with the same period last year.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">THE NATION - Politics - Turnbull’s claim Australia is one of the most successful multicultural societies was over-egged.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton traded insults before a global television audience bigger than the population of Britain, a more uplifting exchange between Malcolm Turnbull and Bill Shorten in the Australian Parliament went largely unremarked.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Trump/Clinton contest was dubbed the ugliest and nastiest debate in American history for good reason, generating more than 124 million views on <span class="companylink">YouTube</span>. In contrast, the speeches by Turnbull and Shorten were remarkable for the lack of rancour, the unity of purpose and the empty seats in the public gallery.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Twenty years after John Howard and Kim Beazley joined to support a motion celebrating the Australian values of equality, tolerance and inclusion, Malcolm Turnbull and Bill Shorten did the same, with a similar level of eloquence and broad-brush conviction.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Back in 1996, the motion was designed to put a lid on the race debate Pauline Hanson had incited with her warning of Australia being "swamped by Asians" and complaints about handouts for Aborigines - a debate Howard had failed to nip in the bud.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This time the catalyst was another warning from the resurrected Hanson: that Australia was in danger of being "swamped by Muslims", who account for just 2.2 per cent of the population. Just as in 1996, neither leader dignified Hanson by referring to her directly.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Turnbull speech was similar to the one he delivered to the <span class="companylink">United Nations General Assembly</span> last month, except that his claim that Australia is one of the world's most successful multicultural societies was over-egged. "We are the most successful multicultural society in the world," he declared.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Just as Howard lamented that Australians had been "too apologetic about our history", Turnbull observed that "we have much more of which to be proud, than self-reproaching". "The glue that holds us together is mutual respect," he said. "Our natural inclination is to welcome newcomers."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Shorten observed that the word "tolerance" doesn't do justice to the society we treasure. "We tolerate traffic jams, we tolerate flight delays, we tolerate headaches, we tolerate brussels sprouts - we embrace diversity," he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But two things were missing from both speeches. One was a recognition of how little has been achieved in narrowing the gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians since 1996, for all the reports commissioned and money spent. The other was any attempt to explain how this country's treatment of <b>asylum</b> seekers is consistent with the values they spoke of with such conviction.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The second omission was highlighted just after MPs voted in favour of the motion, when Immigration Minister Peter Dutton was asked a Dorothy Dixer that gave him the opportunity to ridicule his new shadow, Shayne Neumann.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Dutton seized on what he described as a "train wreck" of an interview Neumann had given to Sky News on what Labor planned to do with the "legacy" caseload of 30,000 <b>asylum</b> seekers who came on boats on its watch, most of whom are in the community on bridging visas.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Dutton quoted the interviewer quoting him as saying 10,000 of these people had been found to be "economic refugees" (she meant to say "economic migrants") and challenging Neumann to confirm whether Labor would give these people permanent residency - the implication being this would demonstrate weakness.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But she was wrong and Dutton was mischievous. Barely 7000 of the 30,000 <b>asylum</b> seekers have had primary decisions, so it is utterly premature to assert how many will have their claims rejected.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yes, there will be a higher rejection rate, but this may have more to do with the fact that many are in no state to present their case for protection after living in limbo for more than three years, being denied legal assistance and subjected to fast-track processing without such procedural safeguards as the right to be heard in person.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Molan's starting point was every Australian should be "extraordinarily proud" of what Sovereign Borders has achieved, but most of his answers smacked of ignorance, arrogance and a reluctance to canvas more humane alternatives.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One of the first questions came from Amnesty International's senior director for research, Dr Anna Neistat, who has spent the last 15 years working in conflict and crisis areas including Syria and Afghanistan, but describes the situation of refugees detained by Australia on Nauru as one of the worst she has seen.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Her report on Nauru will be launched on Monday, when Four Corners will air footage of <b>refugee</b> children trapped on the island, including one who asks: "We're not criminals and we're not dangerous. Can you tell us why are we still here?"</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Does the success of this policy depend on subjecting people to these enormous levels of suffering and essentially keeping them hostages in Nauru and in Manus Island?" Dr Neistat asked.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Molan replied that he had never been to Nauru, but had seen enough to conclude that most Australian towns would give "their right arm" to have Nauru's "most extraordinary medical facilities". As for Manus, he said he had been there, and facilities were so far ahead of <b>refugee</b> camps around the world it wasn't funny.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Towards the end of the program, Shukufa Tahiri, whose father came on a <b>boat</b> in 1999, asked Molan about the "epidemic unfolding before the nation's eyes".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Detention, temporary protection visas, the denial of family reunion, citizenship delays, uncertainty and prolonged delays in processing were increasingly driving those in the legacy caseload into self-harm and suicide, she said, before asking if this an acceptable price to pay for stopping the boats.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I don't connect the two. You can connect the two. I don't connect the two," he replied.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Sooner or later the connection will be made, if not by this government by one that follows. One day, maybe not for another 20 years, a prime minister and opposition leader will rise in the Parliament to express regret that so much suffering was inflicted on so many, all in the name of protecting Australian values.</p>

She's in her 30s, I guess, but haggard. Her sign says she has escaped domestic violence and certainly she looks the part. I want to help but my only cash, excepting a $50, is earmarked for the collection plate. No doubt she needs it more, but then I'd have to deal with not putting in (self-concern, ignominy). Not that anyone would comment - but that makes it worse. Plus I'm late, and the opening moments are breathtakingly lovely, so I scurry off, debating good deeds versus transcendence like some theological white rabbit, accusing myself of cowardice, vowing to find her on my return.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Two hours later she's still there, still miserable. I give her $10 - having broken the $50 note buying sushi for lunch (again, selfish) - but still I feel bad. She needs shelter, not money, and surely I could help with that, speak to her, take her home even. Except that's where fear kicks in: self, safety, the nest. So I leave her there on the edge of tears. On the edge of disaster.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I tell you this only because the question of home became the recurrent motif of my week. Home as habitat, refuge and identity is our core humanity, the springing point for hope and purpose and their end. But is it a human right?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Wherever I looked, I saw attack on home. It was Global Climate Change Week, not that you'd notice. The Trump-Clinton circus barely mentioned that small planetary question and, scarcely less ludicrous, Queensland Labor - elected to save the Reef - fast-tracked the massive Adani coal mine that steals native land, belches CO2 and will nail down the Reef's bleak coffin.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In NSW, meanwhile, Baird backflipped on greyhounds and sharks but retained all the habitat-destruction that defines his regime: the WestConnex juggernaut, tearing through homes and destroying climate, the imminent "biodiversity" legislation that will enable massive land-clearing, decimate already-scarce koala habitat, reduce biodiversity and, again, intensify climate change.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Domestic violence, war and climate change are all forms of habitat destruction. All spring from the domination and entitlement that strengthens its own sense of home by destroying that of others - the myriad reef creatures, countless bush plants and marsupials (including the already-threatened koala), the people of Haberfield, Rozelle and St Peters. Oh, and inhabitants of Earth. That.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Habitat destruction is about control and the fear of losing it, manifest in the will to dominate nature, women, immigration, discourse and, ultimately, death. Such control is illusory, and the yearning for it must be educated into wisdom or, to paraphrase the African proverb, the boys will return and burn down the village.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This failure to educate is what we're witnessing. It could yet leave us all, as Greenwich Villager Emily Prager wrote after September 11, "wounded in my sense of home".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Once you look, such wounds are everywhere. Tuesday evening, just before 10pm, I walked home through Hyde Park. On every bench along the glorious fig-lined avenue was someone sleeping, or settling to sleep.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was a cool night and although some had blankets there was no denying their wretched vulnerability, nor my momentary shame in heading home, regardless, to warmth, food and family.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As it happened I'd just come from Parliament, where homelessness was the topic du jour; the Social and Affordable NSW Fund Bill.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On the foyer TV Greens MP Jenny Leong gave an impassioned plea to shrink the gap between the 3000 dwellings proposed and the 59,000 people "sleeping homeless on our streets, trying to escape domestic violence [or] on crisis waiting lists".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Leong also noted that "<span class="companylink">Serco</span> has an interest in public housing in NSW ... [the] same <span class="companylink">Serco</span> that became infamous for managing Australia's offshore detention centres". Which struck a chord because I was there - in the home of NSW democracy - attending the Diaspora Symposium for refugees. A <b>refugee</b>, remember, is a seeker of refuge, of home.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was a marvellous evening of music, tales, defiance, poetry, rap and debate, ending with a soliloquy from Nauru, where Mina Taherkhani, a trained accountant, has been in offshore detention for three years.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mina fled Iran having been raped by her stepsister's son at four, blamed by her family, abused by her father and her arranged husband. After six months on <span class="companylink">Serco</span>'s Christmas Island she now inhabits a flimsy tent on Nauru, listening all night to the heavy boots of the guards. "They're supposed to protect us," she tells the camera, close to tears. "But they torture us and behave like we are their slaves. One of them held his penis in front of me and pretended he was having sex with me."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Go back home, we say. But for people like Mina, home - as refuge and identity - doesn't exist.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Home is just a burning hope, sufficiently compelling to put a lone woman on a leaky <b>boat</b>; a hope we choose to deny.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Since Malcolm Turnbull insisted no one from Manus or Nauru will ever set foot in Australia, even the "processing" no longer offers hope. However genuine you are, there's no prospect of welcome into Australia. It's not about medical facilities, Jim Molan. The torture is the deliberate removal of hope.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It's not even cheap. Offshore detention has cost a whopping $10 billion over three years. Ending it would net a thousand times, every year, the sale of Blue Poles.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">No, it's fear. John Howard's table-thumping "we will decide who comes to this country" was about fear. And I get it. Ask my tunnel-woman. But fear makes us misperceive immigrants - who won all six of the Nobel science prizes awarded to Americans this year - as more burden than gift. It makes us trust rich, confident ones - though they are almost certainly more destructive - over poor and desperate.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Until we see the lie of this, and understand that our true home, being in our hearts, is not threatened by strangers, we'll keep right on burning down the village.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ralph Bestic gets some measure of the place on a helicopter safari.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Here is an excellent idea. Jump into a helicopter and swoosh around the Kimberley for five days, getting into places so off the beaten track that even the beaten tracks have no idea where they are. The size of the place makes you giddy; the heat dulls your senses; the locals seem straight out of documentaries; the endless carpet of spinifex is patterned by ghost gums in desolate ravines.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Kimberley is twice the size of Victoria, three Englands, six Tasmanias, half of NSW … but right now I'm not obsessing about its vital statistics, I'm thinking about shelter from its heat.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It's mid-morning in a small valley in the western Kimberley and it's sweltering. Four of us have touched down in our helicopter, climbed a low hill and found the perfect spot to chill beneath a rocky overhang. The moment we crawl in, however, we know we're not the first to take cover here. My untrained city eyes make out forms and shapes on the rock. Strange waxy figures with elongated bodies materialise. I recognise owl-like Wandjina figures and turtle-like animals. A kangaroo bends to feed. A fish appears slung over the shoulder of a stick-like figure.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We have unexpectedly stumbled on a rock art gallery, a visual message bank for those "walking country", unknown even to our chopper pilot Sam Coppock, who's explored much of the extreme terrain of the Kimberley.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In recent years the Kimberley's 425,000 square kilometres have opened up to tourism, especially around its coast. Yet there are still areas of complete wilderness, such as this hidden valley.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Where do you start to comprehend this place and its people? I've done homework on Kimberley language groups, studied their complexity and layers; how their art differs. The relationships between family groups are intoxicatingly convoluted. I'm staggered to realise how much I don't understand.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Let me start, instead, with this journey by helicopter.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It begins shortly after sunrise four days earlier, with a lift-off from Kununurra, at the Kimberley's eastern extremity. Balanggarra country unfurls below as the chopper arcs north. Sandalwood plantations, mango and grapefruit farms appear and disappear. The broad Cambridge Gulf curves away into the distance, its mud flats criss-crossed by spines of mangroves. Ivanhoe Crossing comes and goes, a concrete causeway through this land.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">From the outset, Coppock is good with detail. "Mining in the Kimberley?" I ask. "Rare earths," he says, knowingly, as we drop for a top-up into Adamson - a bush runway, a dozen fuel drums and an abandoned quad bike. With 140 litres an hour sucked up by the Bell 206 Longranger,</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I quickly learn the importance of top-ups.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Our first stop is the sharply contemporary Berkeley River Lodge, perched on a headland of sand dunes overlooking the Timor Sea. Steve Frichot, the lively general manager, has some advice for us newbies.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Always keep five metres from the water's edge," he says as I clamber into a modified LandCruiser for an outing with fellow guests. "To give yourself a headstart," he adds, not joking. It's only day one and crocs already invite themselves in my head.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We've signed up for a hike and so it's up the Berkeley for 40 minutes by <b>boat</b> followed by a three-hour round trip scrambling up to the croc-free Casuarina Creek water hole. We are led to our destination by Bruce Maycock, a sinewy indigenous guide who glides between the boulders barefoot.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Dive to the bottom and drink," he says as we flop about exhausted in the water hole.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Most of us prefer to hang on till we return to the <b>boat</b>, where cold wine and beer, spicy frittatas, cheeses and chilled fruit have magically appeared in the stern.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That evening back at the lodge, a throng of hungry hikers hangs by the pool, sipping lychee-flavoured beer and Margaret River riesling before a dinner of river-caught barramundi, pan-fried and crispy. The last rays of sun slip through the huge windows of the main pavilion, intensifying its pumpkin-orange pops of colour. Informed by the flowering woollybutt tree, the colour is emblematic of the Kimberley.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But at dawn it's a pearly pink sky that dominates. All is quiet at 5am as I lie awake watching the sun rise from a seaview villa, reading about Kalumburu, the far north mission settlement on the King Edward River established by the Benedictine Order in 1908. It has just 400 residents, a public phone in an old fridge and an extraordinary museum. It's also where we're headed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Coppock's a stickler for on-time departures. With the sun already high and our water bottles filled, we head north toward King George Falls, banking low over a coastline of small scalloped beaches and rocky inlets where turtles bob about in the milky blue shallows and a lone dugong grazes on the seagrasses of a tiny beach.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A dozen bouncy Wanumbal children emerge from the shade of a bougainvillea tree as we arrive at Kalumburu. We share our cold chicken with them. "Thank you for sharing," says Barbara, the tiniest of the group, cracking a wide Kimberley smile.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Across gardens is the museum, cool, dark and full of Christian and Wanumbal and Kwini artefacts. A cross bearing a Wandjina figure is extraordinary. The 1982 story of the 76 Chinese <b>asylum</b> seekers who came ashore at Swift Bay far to the west and struggled inland for 200 kilometres to reach the King Edward River station is remembered here in a newspaper cutting. Sonja Mitchell from Helispirit, whose tour I'm on, remembers; she was a rescue pilot.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Like the mysterious rocky overhang in a place we decide to keep secret (other than to say it's in a national park), Eagle Falls to the west of Kalumburu is a place of hypnotic beauty. A Mertens' water monitor dozes on a rock, yellow butterflies dance and spin in the sunlight as we float in the water, eyes closed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Trance over, we're aboard and soon thumping our way to Kimberley Coastal Camp, sweeping past Sleep Head Island, listening to radio chatter. "All good buddy, just doing a few scenics, all sweet."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">All is just sweet at this legendary camp, KCC to those in the know. Its owners, Tub White, a tousled-haired local since 1992 and Jules van Duuren, originally from Sydney's north shore and one-time backing singer for Jimmy Barnes, have turned it into one of only a couple of successful luxury camps in these parts.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Over iced tea she tells how she leased a disused BHP railway carriage for five years in Port Hedland and turned it into a coffee joint called the Silver Star before hooking up with White and throwing her lot into KCC.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There is only room for 12 at KCC, and it's share facilities. No one cares. It's a camp, and luxury is a personal perception.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">You get a fix on this place knowing this stuff. Here's the thing about KCC: if you're not hauling out golden snapper and picking black-lip oysters out in Admiralty Gulf, then cooking them up in a shady grotto on a deserted beach, you're in a sea shack pavilion with a floor of crushed shells, singing lustily with van Duuren and scoffing fudge.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Despite its isolation, this coastline was charted by early European explorers, Matthew Flinders, leader of the first circumnavigation of Australia, included.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">South-west from KCC is Careening Bay and its historic Mermaid Tree, marked by explorer and naval commander Phillip Parker King in 1820 when HMC Mermaid was beached here for repairs.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Cockburn Range, 600 metres above the Pentecost River valley, is postcard Kimberley, with mighty views dropping to the Gibb River Road far below. As a setting for a final sundowner before El Questro, cattle station and luxury wilderness destination, it is hard to surpass.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">All is quiet up here bar a warm wind drifting up from the valley, dust trails down below swirling like willy-willies against the setting sun. In 15 minutes, however, we'll be skimming the tops of Livistona palms and swooping into El Questro.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The homestead at El Questro, on the Pentecost and Chamberlain rivers (it's one river, mistakenly named as two), is an oasis of minted tea, iced facecloths, staff in khaki linen clutching walkie-talkies, and delicious, cold air in the rooms. There are cool slate floors, manicured lawns, stars by the billion.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Days here revolve around hikes and sleep, art tours and reading. Guide Vinnie talks about the crocs down on the Chamberlain as though he knows them personally and assures me I will adore the Bungle Bungle in the Purnululu National Park, an hour away south by chopper, the final leg.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After five dusty days, Cathedral Gorge in the Bungle Bungle is the end of the trail. Literally. I follow Margie Lippett, a guide whose people are from the Wolfe Creek region of Western Australia. Fit as a fiddle, she sings Amazing Grace, her rich voice echoing around the towering rockface, the tiny figures of other visitors offering proportion in the ancient space.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
Malcolm Turnbull is now in that nasty place we conservatives live in too often — the Land of No.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Land of No. How gloomy. Negative.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Turnbull could never have imagined he’d be living here. Not when he started with such hope — talking of this “exciting time” when we’d be so “agile” and “alive”, seizing “opportunities”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But hear him now.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">No to same-sex marriage, now Labor this week blocked his people’s vote. No to more “action” on global warming. No to <b>boat</b> people. No to taking in the <b>asylum</b> seekers on Nauru.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">No to more spending.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">No, no and no again.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Poor Turnbull. This is not really him, but he’s trapped.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">First, he is trapped by the deals he had to make to become prime minister. The Nationals made him swear he would not change the government’s policies on global warming and same-sex marriage. He’s also trapped by the conservative MPs most likely to topple him.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They are now warning — don’t welch. It’s a people’s vote on same-sex marriage or nothing.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Indeed, Nationals MP Andrew Broad threatened to walk from the government if Turnbull said yes to a politicians’ vote.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Turnbull is also trapped by polls that show the public is very hostile to more refugees coming in.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Lastly, he is trapped by his government running out of money. The Budget deficit last financial year was a frightening $39 billion, and ratings agency <span class="companylink">Standard and Poor’s</span> last week warned our total level of foreign debt was now “extreme”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Turnbull simply does not have the money to say yes. To save his Budget, and government, he must instead say no to thousands of pleas for more spending.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But Turnbull just isn’t built for no. He is a bouncy man who loves the new and badly wants to be liked.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He’s a man for full cupboards, not empty pockets.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This could tempt him to error. For instance, Turnbull would love to give in to Labor and say yes to a parliamentary vote that could give us same-sex marriage next week. But that yes could cost him his job.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mind you, Turnbull, the fake conservative, is in territory too many real conservatives are stuck in permanently.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is the weary duty of conservatives to say no to change, or at least “wait”. Conservatives are by nature suspicious that the untested new will be worse than the trusty old.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But people need more than no. The young especially like the buzz and the romance of change and a cause.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That’s the problem for conservatives and, now, Turnbull. They have plenty they are against, but little they are for.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They even talk in the language of no when they could talk yes. They say no to handouts when they should say yes to lower taxes and opportunity. They say no to multiculturalism when they should say yes to Australia. That’s not a problem with the left. It is addicted to change. It lives on being for things — for humanity, for compassion, for fairness, for equality, for saving the planet.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It hardly matters that what the left actually delivers often fails or backfires. So 1200 <b>boat</b> people actually drowned? So handouts actually broke the bank? Mere details. Feel the passion, don’t count the price. Just say yes.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So how can conservatives, and Turnbull, compete?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Well, here’s a question: what is Turnbull actually for?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He will say free markets, but that stirs no one. He will say lower taxes, but they’re actually rising overall. He will say, half-heartedly, he’s for giving the people a vote on same-sex marriage, yet he managed to badly lose that argument. Turnbull needs to be for stuff — stuff that won’t cost him his job.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So why not be for, say, jobs?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For cheap electricity.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For a chance for everyone to get ahead.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For a country where none of us are judged by colour and all are treated equally? And how about being for free speech, an issue that an Essential poll says is suddenly engaging many Australians?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">No wonder, when the Racial Discrimination Act is now being used to sue three <span class="companylink">Queensland University of Technology</span> students for $250,000 for complaining that their university was racist to have Aboriginal-only computers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So why can’t Turnbull be for the free speech of these students and demand reform of that wicked law?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yes, Turnbull will be criticised by the left, but better to be attacked for what you are for rather than for what you are against.But Turnbull today is in the Land of No. Time to find the Land of Yes.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Masoud Ali Shiekh, 27, says his condition has deteriorated after he was hit with a rock when seven young men confronted him as he walked a friend to the bus stop near the transit centre at East Lorengau on Saturday</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"The thing is there is no X-ray. It is broken. There is no scan. There is no anything. The injury is deep in the head and I can't open my eyes," a desperate Mr Shiekh said from the Lorengau hospital. "When I stand up I feel like I would fall."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Shiekh said he was shocked by the attack because he thought he was well known to the community, working as a volunteer for a small organisation providing wheelchairs and other aids for the disabled.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Now he is fearful that relatives of those arrested over the attack will come after them. He is also convinced the threat of violence against outsiders will be ongoing. "It shows me that they don't want us in their community," he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He is also concerned about the level of hygiene in the hospital, worried that the gaping wound in his forehead will become infected when his dressings are changed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I wish I could find treatment. There is no treatment here."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A former humanitarian aid worker with the <span class="companylink">United Nations <b>refugee</b> agency</span> and <span class="companylink">Save the Children</span> in Yemen, Mr Shiekh spent more than two years in the Manus Island detention centre before moving to the island's transit centre after being recognised as a <b>refugee</b>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In a move advocates fear will escalate local tensions, PNG officials are planning to move more than 800 <b>asylum</b> seekers who remain at the detention centre to the transit centre in response to a ruling by PNG's highest court in April that their detention was illegal.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Fluent in English, Arabic and Somali, and able to converse with locals in Pidgin, Mr Shiekh told <span class="companylink">UNHCR</span> officials of his work with the agency when they visited Manus Island earlier this year.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The officials also visited Nauru and subsequently called on the government to immediately move <b>asylum</b> seekers who had suffered "immense" physical and mental harm in detention to "humane conditions with adequate support and services", a call that went unheeded. They are due to meet Border Force officials in Canberra on Tuesday.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Shiekh's arrival with another Somali national in a small <b>boat</b> in the Torres Strait made headlines before the 2013 election, with the then opposition claiming it could mark the start of a "torrent" on <b>boat</b> arrivals into north Queensland.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Then shadow immigration minister, Scott Morrison, claimed the Rudd government's decision to reopen the Manus Island detention centre had opened "another front" for <b>asylum</b> seekers coming across the Torres Strait to Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Shiekh said he was forced to leave after receiving death threats from a people smuggling syndicate who accused him of spying on their operation in his work for the <span class="companylink">UNHCR</span> in Yemen. His family had fled war-torn Somalia in 1993.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Telling his story publicly for the first time, he said he was confronted at a restaurant, where a gun was put to his head and he was told he had four hours to leave the country.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At home he his wife said strangers had been asking for him. "The only option I had was to leave Yemen because I cannot hide anywhere because everybody knows me."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He has not seen his wife, parents or siblings since.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Faced with the prospect of a very long wait for a visa to Europe, he chose to seek protection in Australia after fleeing to Indonesia. "I was thinking, as a humanitarian aid worker, wherever I go I will be welcomed," he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I understand this is not the nation, but I am very shocked with the (Australian) government and how the government is dealing with human beings. It's not only me. When I look at Nauru and see children and women and elderly people … I never expected this."</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In some cases, applicants for Certificate IIIs in early childhood education and care — one of the requirements of the new national standards introduced by Labor — were granted their skills tick even though they did not speak English and could not understand elements of the course.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Both the National Quality Framework for childcare and the VET loans scheme were introduced in 2012 when Julia Gillard was prime minister, creating a sudden and massive market for family daycare educators who needed to have or work towards a Certificate III after a change in staff-to-children ratios.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In both cases, training and childcare providers are paid direct­ly by the federal government. While pushing a crackdown at the federal level, Education Minister Simon Birmingham yesterday left the door open to further legislative ­reform to defeat massive fraud in the sector.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The VET loans scheme and the new quality framework happened around the same time and they combined to make it relatively easy to get the qualification without it necessarily increasing quality,” <span class="companylink">Centre for Independent Studies</span> policy analyst Trisha Jha told The Australian.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The government knew, even as far back as 2009, that if they were going to implement all the requirements there would also be this massive workforce shortage.” Family daycare operators with low overheads and no wait for development applications for centres were able to spring up faster than heavily regulated centre-based long-day care centres. In the years since the NQF was introduced, the ­number of family operators grew 62 per cent compared with 7 per cent of large, centre-based servic­es. In the past three years the number of family outfits has more than doubled to 1089, most of them now private providers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Australian yesterday revealed the case of Canberra man Ruben Majok Aleer Aguer, who administered $1.6 million in government money for family daycare services in which authorities never confirmed children were in care. Some of Mr Aguer’s educators received their Certificate III qualifications from a Queensland-based registered training provider, the Australian Vocational Driving Institute, run by Hammad Hassan.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Hassan’s business was deregistered because he failed to meet numerous compliance obligations — in some cases not responding at all — and a Canberra tribunal heard that his qualifications were called into question.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Hassan was the compliance manager with another training organisation, Austwide Institute of Training Pty Ltd, which had a case before the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal in April for similar legal non-compliance.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In one case the organisation, run by Amjad Malik, falsified the experience of one trainer who worked in children’s services, claiming she had experience with family daycare services when she did not.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The shortcomings involved ... dishonesty in a deliberate attempt to frustrate Australia’s immigration control systems, and were at least in part to protect self-interest,” a senior member said in the judgment.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The (company’s) actions compromised immigration regulatory systems ... and the integrity of Australian VET systems through inadequate assessment practices, falsifying its trainer/assessor credentials and falsifying trainer/assessor existence.” In a separate case, an <b>asylum</b>-seeker who arrived in Australia by <b>boat</b> was refused a working with children check because she violently attacked her own daughter but was granted a Certificate III in early childhood education and care despite not being able to speak English.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Senator Birmingham is spearheading reforms to the sector which will save more than $1bn over the forward estimates, as well as committing to scrapping the VET loans scheme. He conceded more could be done.Ms Jha said a key accelerator of fraud in the childcare sector was the fact government subsidies were paid directly to providers, a scenario which worked well enough for large centres but had been easily exploited in family daycare, saying: “The best way to fix this would be to have more of a focus on paying the money to parents, and having it follow children.”</p>

Many ships found navigation through those coastal waters very tricky but prevailed against the odds, while many others came to grief. This book looks at some of those that didn’t make it, from the earliest known identifiable wreck, the British ship Tryal, which struck a reef off Western Australia in 1622 when the country was still New Holland, to the loss of the <b>asylum</b> seeker <b>boat</b> SIEV (Suspected Irregular Entry Vessel) 122 in 2010 off Christmas Island. There are also famous vessels such as Batavia, Sirius, Dunbar and HMAS Sydney II. Henderson tells how they came to rest on the bottom of the ocean and what remains today. Often the tale of what happened after the ship had sunk is the most interesting. Many of the wrecks are protected but this well-illustrated guide may inspire the more intrepid readers to don a wet suit and see for themself.</p>

Among those thugs are the robbers who believe themselves to be slightly better than the standover men, debt collectors or racketeers. Take the bushrangers; initially they were individualistic robbers, desperate men who rarely allied themselves with organised criminal gangs but often formed their own small gangs. Over time they became folk heroes, dressing in flash clothes and becoming bolder in their robberies. Most ended up “dying game” in gunfights with police, while others lived out their days in much sadder circumstances. Since then there have been many brazen bank, train and bookie robbers. This book brings together some of the best stories of these law-breakers, in some cases proof that they really aren’t much better than common criminals, but some of them deserve a modicum of credit for the audacity of their crimes.TROY LENNON</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Plain talking on issues that affect ordinary people give the PM an energy boost</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After the South Australian blackouts and blame shifting, Malcolm “Mr Harbourside Mansion” Turnbull had a kitchen table moment. For a Prime Minister prone to talking too much, and with a propensity to talk about things that mean little to the daily lives of working Australians, there was a flash of the ordinary — something people could identify with in the aftermath of the statewide power loss.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“If you are stuck in an elevator, if the lights won’t go on, if your fridge is thawing out, everything in the fridge is thawing out because the power has gone, you are not going to be concerned about the particular source of that power — whether it is hydro, wind, solar, coal or gas,” he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“You want to know that the energy is secure. Now that has to be the key priority.” The Prime Minister did not waste the opportunity to progress the argument from the highly personal one of soggy, unfrozen vegies to a vital national one about certainty and consistency in the electricity grid.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This is an issue of the utmost importance — if somewhat eye glazing — and it needs to be forced on to the national reform agenda.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Turnbull wasn’t silly enough to suggest the power blackouts were caused by the vast array of wind farms in South Australia and the state reaching a 50 per cent renewable energy target but used the debacle as a platform to launch a campaign for essential power reforms.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He also took the opportunity to highlight federal Labor’s unrealistic renewable energy targets and the need to balance environmental concern with energy security — domestic and commercial.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The language he used — echoing the words of federal Energy and Environment Minister Josh Frydenberg after South Australia’s power price shock in July — of it being a “wake-up call” and of the need to set aside climate change ideology was not what most would expect from the climate change-conscious Turnbull.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But it was an opportunity for the Prime Minister to demonstrate the ability — not often on display — to connect with ordinary Australians.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was the second time in as many weeks Turnbull has shown some personal fire and strongly supported a position not readily identified with him on the back of a lead-in from a conservative cabinet minister.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Although, once again, the only barriers to the message getting through uncluttered were the perceptions of Turnbull’s position and public pronouncements in a former life.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The week before, Turnbull was shoulder to shoulder with Immigration Minister Peter Dutton in New York defending Australia’s successful border protection policies on the world stage.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At the <span class="companylink">UN</span> , Turnbull was happy to tell world leaders that the Coalition’s policy on illegal <b>boat</b> arrivals had not only succeeded but was the basis for a successful, integrated immigration system as well as a generous <b>refugee</b> program.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He was also happy to let his feelings about Labor’s carping on the policy be seen by lashing out at Kevin Rudd for rolling back successful border protection laws. Turnbull was sick of being bombarded by Labor over the moral questions of keeping people on Manus Island and Nauru when he believed it was Labor’s policy that put them there.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This week, while being careful not to say the South Australian storm caused the blackout, he attacked state Labor governments for “aggressive” renewable energy targets and insufficient investment in the power grid. Turnbull earned Labor’s ire when he said “intermittent renewables” placed more pressures on a grid “than reliance on traditional base load power, whether it is fossil fuel or of course hydro”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He went further when he said some state Labor governments had “over the years set priorities and renewable targets that are extremely aggressive, extremely unrealistic, and have paid little or no attention to energy security”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It’s a political or ideological statement,” Turnbull said. “Let’s end the ideology, focus on clear renewable targets.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We’ve got to recognise that energy security is the key priority and targeting lower emissions is very important but it must be consistent with energy security.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Let’s take this storm in South Australia … as a real wake-up call.” The reaction of those who have a view of Turnbull as being a closet Green was, predictably, outraged and Bill Shorten took the opportunity to say once again, on yet another issue, that Turnbull was “in the grip of the right wing of the Liberal Party”, keeping it squarely on ideological ground.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I just wish Malcolm Turnbull would hold a position consistently from one year to the next,” the Opposition Leader said. “He used to be a champion of taking action on climate change, and now he seems to be such a puppet of the hard Right of his party that he is now doubling down on climate sceptic policies.” But this is where Labor and the Greens are using the “soft” view of Turnbull to suggest he doesn’t real­ly care about energy security and can’t stand for anything.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yet Turnbull, who has disavowed emissions trading schemes for years now, is right to point to the unrealistic ALP renewable energy targets — including 50 per cent federally and in South Australia and Queensland — and the danger of distorting the national electricity supply regardless of storm damage.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After a missed opportunity in the recent election campaign to talk about the ALP’s environmental policy impact on electricity ­prices he alluded to the national problem and pointed to the Coalition’s emission reduction targets, agreed to at the Paris climate talks, which are less than half Labor’s.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We should focus on those and stop the political gamesmanship between the states,” Turnbull said. “We’ve got to recognise that energy security is the key priority and targeting lower emissions is very important but it must be consistent with energy security.” This is the sort of commonsense, simple argument the Prime Minister needs to put to people.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Certainly Frydenberg, who also didn’t suggest the blackout was caused by the renewables target, warned of deep public anger flowing from blackouts while questioning the reliability of South Australia’s electricity system and need for a national approach.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Clearly we have a reliability issue in South Australia, given what happened last night,” Frydenberg said on Adelaide radio 5AAA. “Clearly, there’s going to be greater focus as well on the impact of renewable energy on the reliability of the system.” Frydenberg aims to have a national meeting of energy ministers next week to build on the report he has already sought on the impact of renewable energy targets on electricity prices.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Frydenberg, like Turnbull, accused the states of pursuing “unrealistic energy targets” and the need for them to be “harmonised” to keep the nation’s electricity supply stable and affordable.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It’s fine to have a debate about a lower emissions future, and we’re all in favour of that, but the first priority of government must be to keep the lights on,” he said.This is the language people want to hear — keeping the lights on, the peas frozen and electricity prices down — oh, and while you are at it, do your best to keep down greenhouse gas emissions. That’s the kitchen table talk Turnbull wants to use more often, and he may find the polls improve as he addresses people’s concerns and national policy needs.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I magine Malcolm Turnbull locked up in a detention centre. Or Bill Shorten. Nowhere to go. Nothing to do. And no access to family. Just day after day sitting around in stifling heat. Waiting. Without hope. Now imagine yourself in that situation, facing, in the words of the executive director of the Victorian Foundation for Survivors of Torture, Paris Aristotle, a future in which "it is highly likely that many more men and women will express their despair by attempting to harm and kill themselves". That prediction forms part of a</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">statement which also includes the clear message that: "Our extensive experience working with refugees indicates strongly that the primary cause of their decline is the pervasive sense of hopelessness about any prospect of a decent future for themselves and their families."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"So what?" some people will say. "It's their own fault, isn't it? If they want to pay people smugglers and take their chances in leaky boats they can't expect us to welcome them with open arms! They're queue-jumpers, that's all, and now they're being punished for their</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">recklessness. Ignore the bleeding- heart do-gooders and either send these people back where they came from or leave them there. Just don't bring them here!" So let's create a scenario. Imagine Turnbull and Shorten fleeing Sydney and Melbourne with their families, the cities in ruins, infrastructure destroyed, and their homes turned to rubble by bombs and constant shelling. They are desperate, trying to find a safe haven from a relentless military barrage that threatens death at any moment. But there is nowhere to go in Australia because they, for some reason,</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">perhaps ethnic, perhaps religious, are being persecuted. Or maybe they're merely innocent bystanders, caught between opposing armed forces. What can they do? What would you do? How, for example, would you respond if it were your son in the video that flashed around the world in mid- August, the one showing a little boy covered in dust and blood sitting on an orange chair in the back of an ambulance in Aleppo? Dazed and confused, he touches his face and stares at the blood on his hand, then rubs his hand on the chair as if to wipe away the memory of what has</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">just happened. What decisions would parents in Australia make if faced with something horrific like that? There are limited possibilities. One is to escape, by whatever means possible, to a neighbouring country and wait, hoping the conflict in Australia will soon end and you can return home. Or to what's left of home. Alternatively, you might decide to begin a new life elsewhere, and so you make your way to a country that operates as a sort of staging post, somewhere to bide your time while your application to be resettled in your desired destination is processed. Because you know where</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">you want to go. According to reportsit's a wonderful place to liveand bring up a family, but it hasvery strict entry rules. Only afew are allowed in. You may have towait years. In fact, you may never be successful because all the talk of a <b>refugee</b> queue turns out to be a myth. There was no <span class="companylink">UNHCR</span> presence in Australia because the situation was so unstable, and your destination country didn't have an embassy in Australia. And you have lost your passports in the chaos of leaving. So your dream of a new beginning looks hopeless. But there is another option. For a</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">fee, some locals are offering to take you directly to where you want to go. By <b>boat</b>. It's a difficult, hazardous voyage, and many have died trying to make it. There are also conflicting stories about what might happen when you get there. So you face a terrible dilemma. Do you wait in squalid conditions, watching your family suffer, hoping</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">for an outcome that may well be impossible? Or do you risk everything on the chance that you might actually be able to reach your goal? What choice would Turnbull and Shorten make for themselves and their families? What choice would you make? Think about that because, although the government does its</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">best to dehumanise them in our eyes, to reduce them to mere statistics, those incarcerated on Manus Island and Nauru are ... us. They are people from all walks of life who not so long ago had jobs and homes, hopes and dreams. Just as we do. Only now, because of decisions many of us would also have made, they are imprisoned in appalling conditions with no knowledge of what is happening and no hope for the future. They are collateral damage in the war on people smugglers. But they are also ordinary people. Just like us. David Campbell is a freelance writer.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The twisting of language dehumanises suffering humans.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">L ast week Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, along with Immigration Minister Peter Dutton, used the <span class="companylink">UN</span> <b>refugee</b> summit as an occasion to tout Australia's <b>asylum</b> seeker policy as an inspiration for the world. Both men emphasised "secure borders" and supposed "extraordinary challenges to our sovereignty" to defend a policy that the <span class="companylink">UN</span> itself has already deemed to be contrary to human rights. This rhetoric of framing desperate people who try to enter Australia by <b>boat</b> as threats who divert humanitarian assistance away from "those who need it most", which I presume is a euphemism for "real refugees", is how successive governments from both major parties have managed to gain the support of a significant portion of the Australian population for the increasingly untenable treatment of people in our detention centres. Language is powerful. Indeed, as the British science writer Richard Doyle has said, "Language is such a powerful lens for shaping reality that we frequently forget it is a tool at all, and take it for reality." Doyle's words sprang to my mind when I was asked to host a panel event deconstructing the language Australians used to discuss <b>asylum</b> seekers and refugees at the Melbourne Writers Festival earlier this month. Humans like to think we are rational creatures, that our opinions are shaped through critical engagement and free thinking. In truth, studies have repeatedly shown that our perception</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">of the world around us is informed largely by the words used to describe that world to us. A <span class="companylink">Stanford University</span> study found that when crime is framed as a disease (e.g. "plaguing our community"), individuals favour preventive solutions such as after-school programs and preschool. However, when crime is framed as an adversary (e.g. "fight crime"), subjects thought harsher punishments were the solution. Even something as simple as asking an individual if they intend to vote can produce different responses depending on the framing. In another US study (where voting is not compulsory), participants were asked one of two questions: 1. Whether they would vote in an upcoming election, or 2. Whether they would be a voter. Just over half of those asked question 1 responded "yes", compared to 87.5 per cent of those asked the second question. What's more, 96 per cent of the second group actually voted. This is how powerful word choices are: simply shifting the question from one of action to one of identity influenced respondents enough to shape their reality. And when it comes to our policies on people who seek <b>asylum</b>, the government is clearly constructing a version of reality it hopes we are all fooled into mistaking for the real thing.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For the past decade and a half, people seeking <b>asylum</b> and refuge on our shores have been cast by our politicians as "threats," "illegals," and "queue jumpers." Because these are highly emotive arguments trading on fear, they are almost impossible to counter with facts. No matter how often human rights and <b>refugee</b> rights organisations remind supporters of the government's offshore policy that it is not illegal to seek <b>asylum</b>, that Australia has obligations under international law, and that there is no queue, these facts fall on deaf ears and the misinformation continues. And so too does Australia's offshore detention policy. If history has taught us anything, it is that people will tolerate the most obscene mistreatment of fellow human beings - if we are led to believe they deserve it. This is why objectification and dehumanisation through language is the first stage in any form of oppression. We have already experienced that here when Australia was falsely declared Terra Nullius - uninhabited by other humans. And we have been seeing this dehumanisation ever since the Children Overboard scandal when the Howard government falsely declared that <b>asylum</b> seekers were throwing their kids into the sea. It is not all that surprising then, that</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">in a poll taken two years ago, 60 per cent of Australians wanted the government to "increase the severity of the treatment of <b>asylum</b> seekers." As columnist Jamila Rizvi noted on the festival panel, Australians can be very welcoming - in a one-on-one situation. But Canberra has proven to be very adept at making us forget people seeking <b>asylum</b> are individuals, instead gathering and then isolating them so they appear to us, in the words of author and panellist Arnold Zable, as faceless "hordes" intent on attacking our way of life. This is why people seeking <b>asylum</b> have been subjected to such incredible cruelty for such a sustained period of time with the approval of so many Australians; because we have mistaken the government's language for reality. Thankfully, the tide is beginning to turn. A recent poll by the Australia Institute found that 63 per cent of Australians now think that those who arrive by <b>boat</b> should be allowed to settle in Australia. This is partly thanks to media pressure, to the efforts of refugees themselves to tell their stories, including Abdul Karim Hekmat, a former detainee now working as a journalist, who was on the festival panel reminding us that these are ordinary people being treated in incredibly cruel ways. And it is thanks to the works of other Australians who have made it their business to change the narrative by challenging the popular rhetoric. Australians such as Madeline Gleeson, a human rights lawyer who has just published Offshore, a vital book outlining exactly what is happening on Nauru and Manus Island. Words matter. When we speak about human beings in language that transforms them into objects, we start to believe they are objects and we rationalise the cruelty we inflict on them. The challenge is to change the narrative, to use words in a way that respects the humanity and dignity of those we are treating as less than human. Judging by Turnbull's and Dutton's performances at the <span class="companylink">UN</span>, this is something the government has no intention of doing. It is then, up to us the public to, as Zable told the Writers Festival audience, start speaking "the language of decency when talking about people seeking <b>asylum</b>."</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Attorney-General has spent thousands to avoid disclosures.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">More than 200 years ago, James Madison, the father of the US constitution, observed that the greatest threat to freedom is not violence or revolt, but the "gradual and silent encroachments of those in power". He was reflecting on the past, of course, but he might just as well have been looking to our future - which is why his remarks were cited by Federal Court Justice Susan Kenny, just five years ago, in a speech on Australia's secrecy provisions.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The notion that the powerful should have the sole discretion to determine what information to disclose, and when, may "[belong] to a legal landscape that has since disappeared" according to Kenny, but it's as firmly entrenched in the political mindset as ever. Despite the Turnbull government's professed enthusiasm for transparency and accountability, this year - marked by a shroud of secrecy over border protection, targeting of whistleblowers, and the intransigence of the Attorney-General around the release of his diary - could well be the low point for open government in Australia since freedom-of-information laws were introduced three decades ago.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Welcome to Peak Secrecy. And in case you've missed any of the pivotal moments, let's start with the achievements of Australia's most senior legal officer, who - credit where credit's due - has managed to use the provisions of freedom-of-information legislation to conclusively frustrate objects of the act. Our Attorney-General has now spent two years and about $50,000 resisting the disclosure of what are essentially "brief and anodyne" entries, according to the Federal Court, for an eight-month period in his ministerial diary leading up to the 2014 budget.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Why? Well, not because of "security risks", which were overstated, according to this month's judgment, or the resource implications of processing the request, which were exaggerated, or the privacy exemptions, which were misconstrued. Now, what could the reason possibly be?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Regardless, George Brandis has effectively directed taxpayer funds to legal proceedings to ensure critical information on stakeholder consultation, or the lack thereof, remains concealed from said taxpayers - and he hasn't ruled out taking the matter to the High Court either.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If Brandis is the poster boy for this new secrecy push, his department certainly appears to be toeing the line. There has been a tripling in the percentage of FOI refusals from the Attorney-General's department in the two years to 2015, and refusals across the board, on the grounds of national security and secrecy provisions, have also risen.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Moving on from our AG's diary to another much politicised matter that is equally resistant to scrutiny - a policy that our leaders are perennially inviting the international community to inspect but which we are not permitted to inspect ourselves - border protection.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In August, a landmark legal case, launched by journalist Paul Farrell, concerning release of information about <b>boat</b> turn-backs, was heard by <span class="companylink">the Administrative Appeals Tribunal</span>. The Department of Immigration and Border Protection has appealed to keep the documents secret on the grounds that they pose "a threat to the security of the Commonwealth".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The sole - somewhat impenetrable - justification proffered by Major-General Andrew Bottrell, head of Operation Sovereign Borders, for the secrecy surrounding "on water" operations, is that secrecy is an important way of educating <b>asylum</b> seekers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It's not just <b>asylum</b> seekers who are likely to learn something from these ludicrous levels of opacity - there's a take-home message for the rest of us too, including the bleak realisation Australia's FOI framework is a bit like air travel: even if the basic machinery is adequate, in the hands of an inexperienced - or ill-intentioned - operator, things can come unstuck quickly.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Without an independent adjudicator, sufficiently resourced to hold government to account, where would we be? Well, right about here actually, since in 2014 funding to the Australian Information Commissioner and FOI Commissioner was terminated, and has not yet been adequately restored. This means that it's not just getting harder to scrutinise a government that is increasingly resistant to scrutiny, but harder to scrutinise government decisions on what we are permitted to scrutinise.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Harder, and more risky too. Just ask Paul Farrell, who, since initiating his quest to unearth information on Australia's controversial <b>boat</b> turn backs, has been the subject of a relentless campaign by the <span class="companylink">Australian Federal Police</span> to track his sources.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Sadly, he's not alone: a brace of Australian journalists and public servants, including NBN "leakers", have been targeted - by secrecy provisions that make it illegal to not just disclose information but also to report it - under laws that our leaders have embraced with a singular enthusiasm.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In a fitting epilogue to this whole dismal charade, earlier this year Paul Farrell sought access, under FOI, to the details of the AFP investigation of which he was the subject. And what did Farrell receive? Two hundred pages of documents - a montage of state surveillance detailing subscriber checks and metadata examination - almost entirely redacted. Naturally.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Turnbull government has undertaken a series of policy steps to minimise the number of Middle Eastern Muslims, especially young men, who can come permanently to Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It has done so without breaching Australia’s long-standing ­racially non-discriminatory immigration program. It has also done so without any minister or representative making any statement that could remotely be ­described as anti-Muslim.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Nonetheless there is a determination across the leading figures of government, and at the most senior levels of the bureaucracy, that the immigration program should not “import trouble”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
Malcolm Turnbull said last week Australia would resettle refugees from Central America. Australia already takes a small number of refugees and humanitarian program immigrants from Central America and initially at least this new program will ­represent only a small expansion. However, it has the potential to grow significantly.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Sources tell The Australian the special provision of 12,000 extra people to be taken from Syria will comprise a majority of Christians.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Much of the non-Christian ­remainder will be from other persecuted, non-Muslim ­minorities, including Yazidis, Druze and ­Zoroastrians. The Sunni Muslims who are included will comprise in part of Kurds, fierce opponents of Islamist extremism.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So far 4086 of the 12,000 Syrians have arrived in Australia. They are part of a total of 6858 who have been approved. Several thousand more are awaiting final approval, following exhaustive security checks.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The determination to prioritise persecuted ­minorities met some stiff resistance from mid-levels of the bureaucracy. It has also been criticised by some officials of the <span class="companylink">UN High Commissioner for Refugees</span>, because the <span class="companylink">UNHCR</span> wants to ­determine who has priority for resettlement, whereas Canberra is determined to keep the power to choose within its own hands.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Turnbull government is absolutely right to make this fundamental commitment to national sovereignty and to the responsibility to choose Australia’s new residents wisely. Turnbull’s speeches, statements and interviews in the US last week were his clearest yet on border security and immigration.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The government is able to make these decisions because what is commonly called Australia’s <b>refugee</b> intake — which will rise to just under 19,000 in 2018-19 — is actually a humanitarian and <b>refugee</b> program.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This means Canberra can choose people on the basis of its ­assessment of their needs, rather than <span class="companylink">UNHCR</span>’s, and it can also give some weight to the likely ability of the people involved to settle constructively inside Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The treatment of Syrian Christians is a classic case of this. Christians are systematically persecuted throughout the Middle East and in many places subject to ethnic cleansing and what almost amounts to a form of quasi-­genocide. They are also persecuted in <b>refugee</b> camps. Therefore some of the refugees in most need are outside <span class="companylink">UNHCR</span> camps.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Canberra has used connections from the Syrian Christian community in Australia, and the communities of other persecuted minorities, to locate such people.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
Peter Dutton has been a strong immigration minister in giving effect to priorities embodying compassion, fit with sober sentiment and safeguard national security.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The transition from Tony ­Abbott to Turnbull has not weakened border security policies, as many expected it would. Turnbull deserves full credit for this.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The criticism by some this week that if all nations adopted Australia’s approach — of trying to ­secure their borders — the entire system of <b>refugee</b> protection would collapse is nonsense.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Nations that accept <b>refugee</b> principles are obliged to give at least temporary shelter to people who flee persecution directly across their borders. However, <b>asylum</b>-seekers are not entitled to a complete free choice about which country they end up living in. Australia has been dealing overwhelmingly with secondary movements of people.Statements by Labor spokespeople this week, statements by backbenchers opposing offshore processing as well as the continued Labor position that <b>boat</b> turnbacks would be carried out with official Indonesian permission suggest Labor would not be able to keep these policies, and Australia’s borders, intact.</p>

The <b>refugee</b> is often woken by a nightmare recounting the moment she discovered the <span class="companylink">Taliban</span> shot her husband dead while he caught a taxi home after a lunch in Afghanistan's Kandahar Province. Other nights, she lies awake fearing for the safety of her six Hazara children who face discrimination in Pakistan as a minority Shi'a group. If she knew at least five years would pass without her feeling their touch, she says, she would never have fled the country. Ms Sultani and her friend Nargi travelled from Melbourne to Canberra last week in a desperate attempt to deliver a handwritten letter to Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull who she hopes will help her fast-track her Australian citizenship process so she can sponsor</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">her children and bring them to Australia. The Hazara woman travelled to the country by <b>boat</b> in 2010 and was resettled in Melbourne after spending 14 months at Leanora detention centre in Western Australia. Once she had spent four years on a permanent visa she applied for Australian citizenship but has waited 18 months for it to be approved. "I call the Department of Immigration every week but still I get no answer," she said. "Every day I worry about my children and whether they will survive with the <span class="companylink">Pakistan Taliban</span> who hate Hazara people, they hate women, they have no kindness." The mother paused between each sentence to hold back tears while she gripped the letter with the photos of her six children. One had disappeared since she left. She and her family moved between Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan up until 2004 to seek</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">safety as Hazara have faced long- term persecution from the majority Sunni population. The <span class="companylink">Pakistan Taliban</span> (TTP) are responsible for regular deadly assaults on civilians and the military in Pakistan's mostly ungoverned area along its Afghan border. The broader TTP gained global attention for the 2012 attack on 14-year old Malala Yousafazi and</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">the Peshawar school massacre in December 2014 that left 145 dead, including 132 children. After Ms Sultani's husband was killed, in 2010 she paid a people smuggler to take her to Australia, leaving her children, aged 11 to 20, behind with her stepsister. "I thought it would be too dangerous to bring them on a leaky <b>boat</b> to Australia," she said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I thought I would come to Australia and they would help me bring my children here safely. It was the biggest mistake because I didn't know I'd still have no word after all this time." Ms Sultani tried delivering the letter to the Prime Minister to no avail and said she would email his office a copy. "Some days I can't eat or sleep and take tablets for my pain," she said. "I call my children twice a day but I miss their touch. I just want them to be safe." A spokesman for the Department of Immigration and Border Protection said the department was progressing Ms Sultani's application for finalisation. "The department has a duty to thoroughly assess the genuine nature of citizenship applications irrespective of the applicant's background," the spokesman said. "Some applications take longer to process while appropriate assessments are undertaken."</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The captain and five crew members, who said Australian officials paid them $US32,000 ($42,000) to return 65 <b>asylum</b> seekers to Indonesia, are already serving at least five years behind bars for people smuggling.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is alleged that Louhenapessy, 56, who has a long history of people smuggling to Australia, bought the <b>boat</b> and helped organise the trip of mostly Sri Lankan <b>asylum</b> seekers to NZ, which left Tegal in Java on April 30 last year.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The <b>asylum</b> seeker <b>boat</b> was intercepted by Australian border control authorities, who the crew said paid them about $US5000 each on the condition they turn back to Indonesia and "never ever do this work ever again". The <b>asylum</b> seekers were returned in two boats, one of which hit a reef near Landu island, in West Rote, where they were rescued by villagers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The explosive cash payment claims were never denied by former prime minister Tony Abbott .</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He said the Australian government stopped the boats "by hook or by crook" and border protection agencies were "incredibly creative in coming up with a whole range of strategies to break this evil trade".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The cash for turn-back scandal was the subject of a Senate inquiry and prompted <span class="companylink">Amnesty International</span> to call for a royal commission.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Sri Lankan people smuggler Kugan, also known as Vishvanathan Thineshkumar, was also jailed in March this year for helping to organise the failed trip to NZ.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Police said Louhenapessy was an "old player" in smuggling people to Australia, with most journeys starting from beaches along the West Java coastline.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In 2010 Louhenapessy escaped a jail term for organising an attempt to bring more than 250 Sri Lankans on an overcrowded <b>boat</b> to Christmas Island in 2009.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The ship was intercepted by the Indonesian navy after former prime minister Kevin Rudd called former Indonesian president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono , but many of the Tamils refused for months to disembark on a West Javan dock.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The last chance “go away’’ money is regarded by the federal Government as cheaper than leaving the <b>asylum</b> seekers in PNG, which is estimated at around $300,000 for each person in detention.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Senior government officials have for the first time confirmed they are prepared to offer increases to the secret payments on a case-by-case basis.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The “go home’’ payments, which are not publicly disclosed, have already doubled from $10,000 to $20,000 in just two years to clear the backlog of cases, according to <b>refugee</b> advocates.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">More than 500 <b>asylum</b> seekers in both offshore detention centres have accepted the offer to return home.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Nearly six months after PNG ruled the Manus Island detention centre was illegal and must be closed, there are no options before cabinet to send any of the 832 men on Manus to a third country.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Their only choice remains to go home or resettle in Port Moresby if they are genuine refugees, a fate that has ­already resulted in some refugees begging to return to Manus Island and detention because it’s safer for them. By comparison, genuine refugees released from Manus and ­resettled in Port Moresby are offered just 500 kina or $200, a pack of household items, 12 months’ health cover and a free torture and trauma counselling program.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Immigration Minister Peter Dutton will not comment on the cash offers, which are ­negotiated on a case-by-case basis, but again warned that even genuine refugees will never be resettled in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Settlement in Australia will never be an option for ­people who attempt to travel illegally by <b>boat</b>. There are no exceptions,” Mr Dutton said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Departmental documents provided to The Sunday Telegraph have also outlined the deal offered to genuine refugees to resettle in strife-torn Port Moresby.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The documents also state: “PNG is a dynamic and fast-growing country. PNG has a very bright future and offers refugees the opportunity to commence a new life and ­become part of our future. Australian immigration officials do not have any jurisdiction in PNG. You will not be settled in Australia.’’ But some refugees have simply begged to be returned to detention after spending nights barricading themselves against assaults from locals.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Department documents provided to men on Manus, state that “non-refugees who have not departed PNG by the time the Manus RPC closes will be detained at another place identified by ICSA until they depart PNG. No one will be settled in Australia.’’ The revelations follow yesterday’s arrest of one of Indonesia’s most notorious people smugglers, “Captain Bram” Abraham Louhenapessy, who faces up to 10 years in jail.Manus and Nauru cost taxpayers $1 billion last year.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But according to leftist activists and Muslim stirrers like Mariam Veiszadeh this is somehow simultaneously a shock and confirmation of their slur that half the population are bigots and Islamophobes, a “basket of deplorables”.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Race Discrimination Commissioner Tim Soutphommasane blamed Pauline Hanson, and the media which he thinks should censor the elected senator, hardly a recipe for harmony.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He and fellow posturing “anti-racists” never seem to put two and two together. They won’t admit that it’s their unreasonable demands, insults, endless grievances and crying wolf that drives people into the arms of right-wing groups.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This poll is their handiwork. Hanson has only capitalised on the disquiet they have helped create.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They never understand that the experiment they championed in which Labor dismantled hard-won border controls, unleashing an ­exponential flood of unauthorised <b>boat</b> arrivals — most of them Muslims from Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan and Iraq — threatened the very multicultural harmony they pretend is their sole preserve.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They don’t understand it doesn’t help their cause to deny the obvious problems of Islamist terrorism and failed Muslim integration.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“People often say that our democracy is robust enough to withstand overt hate speech being spouted by some, but these results indicate otherwise,” Veiszadeh said. But nothing in the poll results indicates “hate”, or any ill will ­towards the many fine ­Australian Muslims who flourish here.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">What it does express is a distrust of a political class which pretended that the Lindt Café siege was a mere “brush” with terrorism that had nothing to do with Islam. Or that the attack on a gay nightclub in Orlando by a fanatical follower of Islamic State was just about homophobia and guns. Or that the terrorist murder of Curtis Cheng in Parramatta had nothing to do with Islam. Or that pressure cooker bombs in New York last week were not terrorism — until a radicalised Muslim was arrested. Surprise, surprise.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Since 2001, every innocent ­sociable activity we engage in is tinged with fear: going to the footy, getting on a plane, taking your child to a Jewish preschool or ­waving him off to Europe on a gap year.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We live in defiance of fear but that does not mean we are not aware of the cause — irrational ancient grievances of an alien ideology which is embraced by some of our own fellow citizens.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That’s the reality reflected in last week’s Essential poll, in which the main reasons people cited for wanting a ban was a belief that Muslim migrants do not integrate into society (41 per cent), are a terrorist threat, (27 per cent) and do not share our values (22 per cent).</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Demonising those who hold such views and pretending that it’s all Hanson’s fault just drives more people into the arms of anti-­migration groups and reinforces their fears.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When hostages in the Lindt Café were still suffering the terror of being held at gunpoint, Veiszadeh, <b>refugee</b> lawyer Julian Burnside and friends were helping whip up hysteria about a hypothetical anti-Muslim backlash with the ­obscene “illridewithyou” hashtag on <span class="companylink">Twitter</span>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The daughter of Afghan refugees, who has benefited from the safety and generosity of Australia, Veiszadeh has made a career out of magnifying conflict and disunity in her adopted country.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">She disrespects the triumph of Australia’s history. We are the most harmonious immigrant country and the most generous per capita when it comes to resettling refugees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Almost a third of Australians were born overseas. How does that gel with a racist, xenophobic country?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As Malcolm Turnbull told President Obama’s <b>refugee</b> summit last week, it was only the tough border protection measures of the Howard and Abbott governments that allowed us to increase our <b>refugee</b> intake, to remove children from detention, close 17 detention centres and prevent ­<b>asylum</b>-­seekers drowning.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“If you can’t control your borders, public reaction is going to be very, very adverse; it gives rise to all sorts of anti-<b>refugee</b>, anti-­foreigner, in many cases anti-­Muslim sentiment; it destabilises countries.” Even Angela Merkel belatedly gets the message. The German Chancellor who opened the floodgates last year to more than a million “migrants” — mainly young men from North Africa and the Middle East — with all the social problems that ensued, has now admitted it was a mistake.But it took two election victories of the most far-right parties in Germany since Hitler for her to wake up. Her moral vanity unleashed the genies of bigotry and racism. Let last week’s poll be a warning to our own self-appoin-ted moral betters: you get what you wish for.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">LABOR’S Medicare scare campaign was enough to leave Liberal Party hard man Tony Nutt on the verge of tears this week.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Denouncing Labor’s “cold-blooded lie’’ over the privatisation of Medicare, he became emotional during the speech — twice — when discussing the impact of the scare tactics.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The really outrageous ­aspect of the Medi-scare was that it was coldly, ruthlessly and callously targeted at vulnerable Australians,” Mr Nutt said. “The Medicare campaign affected votes and seats and contributed to the defeat of a number of MPs by reaching a new low, cynically and cruelly exploiting some of the most vulnerable in our society.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Admitting he was “emotional’’ about the issue, he choked up. “I call on the Labor Party to pledge to never again behave in that way and use those tactics,” he concluded.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There are a number of problems with Mr Nutt’s analysis.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">First, it’s the action of a political wimp.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">You don’t publicly beg for mercy for your opponents on live television on the grounds their tactics are working. You just get better tactics.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Predictably, scores of Labor staffers spent their lunchtime watching slack-jawed as the Nutt speech unfolded and prepared videos of Nutt’s tears to roll out the next time the ­Coalition tells a porky.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was the greatest Labor Party morale boost of all time.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Nutt is a lovely bloke but it was up there in the ­bizarro stakes with Eric Abetz constantly elevating GetUp! campaigners as some kind of Coalition kryptonite.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Sure, the left-wing activist group is interesting because they are cashed up, but the idea that the Liberal Party can’t fight off the modern-day equivalent of the Resistance political movement for grown-ups is seriously embarrassing.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Liberal Party needs to get a grip.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Second, the really interesting thing is that if the Liberal Party is really, really upset about Medi-scare it hasn’t learnt its lesson.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Given the red-hot political impact of all things Medicare, you would think that a giant alarm should go off in the Turnbull government when Medicare comes up.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Instead, a more languid ­response is still on display that is simply baffling from a political perspective.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On Saturday, for example, The Sunday Telegraph contacted the Health Minister’s office over the decision to end on-site processing of Medicare claims at many offices at 7am.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It took nearly seven hours to get a response after being punted around from the Health Minister’s office to the Department of Health to the Department of Human Services. The government came spluttering back to life with a response at 3.46pm.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Finally, Tony Nutt’s claim that only the Labor Party is big on political lies ignores history.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Both John Howard and Tony Abbott tapped in to Australians’ strong support for border protection in successive elections. This is perfectly legitimate. They did not always do so, however, without ­exploiting vulnerable groups or without telling lies.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Anyone who remembers the 2001 election will recall the Children Overboard affair.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Claims that <b>asylum</b> seekers had thrown their own children overboard changed the course of political history.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They were also a lie. Kim Beazley lost the 2001 election.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After the election, the Australian Senate Select Committee found that no children had been at risk of being thrown overboard.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">John Howard asserted that the <b>asylum</b> seekers “irresponsibly sank the damn <b>boat</b>, which put their children in the water”, but later insisted he based his claims on the available intelligence at the time. Except that’s not true.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Some senior people in the government knew it was a lie or possibly not true. Tony Nutt is deluded if he thinks the Coalition can claim the moral high ground on political lying.He’s smart enough to know that, too.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"He was a jovial, happy person, always telling stories, writing poetry and entertaining other people," says Nasim, who was on the same <b>boat</b>. Hadi was released three months later on a bridging visa, with no work or study rights.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Less than three years later Hadi was dead. His body was found by an early morning jogger in a park in western Sydney in June. He was just 23.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Hadi was one of six Hazara <b>asylum</b>-seekers and a <b>refugee</b> to have taken their own lives in the past year. Mohammad Nazari, 35, was found hanged on a construction site in Sydney in April. He left behind four young children and his wife. Two young Hazara men took their own lives in Perth in mid 2015.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This month, Iranian <b>asylum</b> seeker Saeed Hassanloo took his life in Tasmania after spending more than four years in detention and having been released into the community for less than a year.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Last October, Hazaras clustered around a patch of burnt grass in a Dandenong park to offer prayers for Khodayar Amini, an <b>asylum</b> seeker, who doused himself with petrol and set himself alight.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Only two of the deaths have previously been reported.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The deaths of all these young men leave immense trauma in their wake. Hadi's mother in Afghanistan speaks on the phone between heart-wrenching sobs. "He was a very good boy," she whispers. "He did not have any problem. He must have gone through a lot to end his life that way."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The cluster of suicides is taking a terrible toll on the Hazara community, one of the biggest groups of <b>asylum</b> seekers in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Nazir Yousafi is president of the Afghan Association Network, an umbrella group formed after Khodayar's death to highlight <b>asylum</b> seekers' mental health. After the death he said: "This is the result of Australia's harsh policies on this vulnerable group.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"They carry the scars of detention and years without work rights and still uncertainty about their future. All these combine and impact their mental health.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Everyone [<b>asylum</b> seekers] asks how long they will be like this."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In Sydney, inside a big warehouse in Lidcombe converted to a religious and cultural centre, a photo of Hadi is propped up for his fateha, a ceremony where his friends and community give prayers for the dead.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The community used to hold fatehas for those killed in Afghanistan and Pakistan by terrorists. Now they have to hold them for their young in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"We have not heard of people committing suicide in Afghanistan or Pakistan, despite people facing much adversity," says Abdul Alizada, a Hazara community leader in Sydney.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"But in Australia we hear too many of them take their lives. I don't know what's the reason. But we do know their visa conditions [lead to] it, but it's a taboo topic to raise with immigration."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">About 29,000 <b>asylum</b> seekers live in Australia on bridging visas, allowing people to legally reside in the Australian community while their long-term fate is decided. They are not allowed to study like local students and are ineligible for educational loans. They also have no right to a family reunion and if they travel overseas are not permitted to re-enter Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Today in Afghanistan, kidnappings, beheadings and attacks on Hazara men, women and children are common. Many are ordered off buses on country roads or out of their homes at gunpoint by militia and never seen again.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On July 22, two Islamic State suicide bombers blew themselves up at a peaceful Hazara protest in Kabul, killing 87 people and injuring 300 more. The victims were widely acknowledged to be some of the brightest in the country; recent medical, law, engineering and journalism graduates who were the product of the post-<span class="companylink">Taliban</span> period; many were from Hadi's own Ghazni province.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In August, the <span class="companylink">BBC</span> reported a student was killed in northern Afghanistan (where Hadi travelled to study); his head was chopped off and his body was stuffed with explosives and left on the side of the road. This was the place Hadi feared being returned to if Australia rejected his <b>asylum</b> application.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There's a photo of Mohammad Hadi, taken in October 2013, shortly after he was released from Curtin. He was living in Naracoorte, a small town in South Australia 340 kilometres south-east of Adelaide with a friend from his village, Rahmat*, who'd arrived three years before him. He's opening his arms as if to fly, a wide grin on his face, the blue of the sea in the background. He looks as if he's celebrating his chance at freedom, the revival of his dreams one day to continue his studies and become a pilot. That month, Hadi posted poetry on his <span class="companylink">Facebook</span> page that speaks of life and happiness.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Life is beautiful, open your eyes</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Wonder on the garden of mystery</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Whoever opens the love of wonder</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They broke their glasses of pessimism.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Unable to either study or work under the terms of his bridging visa (legislation introduced by Labour in August 2012), Hadi gradually slid into despair. Without money, he spent most of every day at home, a three-bedroom unit with 12 other <b>asylum</b> seekers, who were also not permitted to work.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He became withdrawn, he couldn't sleep and he developed a nervous tic, rubbing his chin and jaw constantly. Worried about his mental state, and with no services available locally to treat him, Rahmat decided to drive him to Sydney where, he reasoned, there would be more help available. In Sydney, a doctor referred him immediately to the public psychiatric Cumberland Hospital in Westmead, in Sydney's west. He was hospitalised for two months and given electric shock treatment. He was placed in community accommodation, sharing with a mentally disturbed fellow Hazara man, but was admitted back to hospital regularly. Rahmat was often at his bedside. He arranged a referral to an outside psychiatrist, but was told the earliest appointment was four months away.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Hadi's other old classmate, Naveed Rahimi, visited too, and was shocked. "He was totally a different person to the one I'd known three years before," he says. "He was no longer the person who'd win a running race against me, leaving me feeling like I was walking. He wasn't the hopeful boy who wanted to conquer the sky. He was a changed man, who rubbed his chin and jaw, with his eyes rolling."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Naveed would take his friend out walking in Auburn Park, trying to bring back memories. "Do you remember when you asked the teacher this question?" Naveed would ask him. "Do you remember the day we did this thing together?"</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Hadi would laugh, but then his eyes would go blank, and he'd lapse back into silence.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Occasionally, he'd visit the local library, and brighten as if he still had hope the terrible state of living in limbo, with all his hopes, dreams and plans for the future on hold, would some day end.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On good days, Hadi would muse with Naveed that one day they'd get their visas, go home to visit their families and get married together. On bad days, he'd predict they'd die together.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Then, on June 6, Hadi was told he'd have to move out of his accommodation because his rehabilitation was complete. He pleaded with them not to evict him. "As they walked away, Hadi followed them," says his roommate. "He was saying, 'Please let me stay here. I have nowhere to go.' But they shook their heads and kept walking out."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Later that day, Hadi phoned Rahmat. Rahmat told him not to worry; he could come and stay with him and the other <b>asylum</b> seekers. But Hadi said he just couldn't share with so many others. That night, he hanged himself in the park opposite his house. His death is still under investigation by the NSW coroner.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph"> A week after Hadi's death, Rahmat visited his room, tears running down his face as he looked at the poetry; his doctors' letters, his immigration file. "I miss him a lot," he says. "My heart is about to burst."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He left everything in its place, thinking the police would need it for their investigation. A few days later, he returned, to find all Hadi's papers, three notebooks of poetry gone. He scavenged through the bins, but could find nothing. "It would have meant a lot to me to have had a few of his poems and his papers," he says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph"> Only two poems Hadi had sent to Rahmat's mobile phone survive. One reads:</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Don't look at my smiley face</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">My chest is filled with rivers of blood</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">* Rahmat's name has been changed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Lifeline 131 114; MensLine 1300 789 978; <span class="companylink">Beyondblue</span> 1300 224 636; Kids Helpline 1800 551 800</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">* Abdul Karim Hekmat is a former detainee turned freelance journalist.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There will be no justice for victims of a lawyer who abused his power, writes Nick O'Malley.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After years of allegations and investigation - and a gruelling committal hearing - the story of David Bitel, a prominent Sydney lawyer and human rights advocate accused of raping his clients as they turned to him for help in his office, ended last Friday morning in a bland Downing Centre courtroom.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A judge found Bitel's pending trial had "abated on the death of the accused". There was talk of attaching a death certificate to a file. The judge moved on to another case.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The brief, bloodless language of the courtroom hardly reflects the long, bleak complexity of the case.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At the time of his death from cancer in August, Bitel was facing 21 charges relating to the sexual assault of six clients. Three charges were for "sexual intercourse procured by non-violent threat", nine for "assault with an act of indecency" and nine more for "sexual intercourse without consent".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">To those who had summoned the courage to detail the crimes they said Bitel had committed against them, this was a case of justice delayed and then denied, even though in a committal hearing the court found there was sufficient evidence for a jury to convict.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">To the whistleblowers who made repeated complaints about Bitel to every legal authority they could think of over a number of years, it looked as though some elements of the legal profession had - at least tacitly - protected Bitel for so long that cancer took him before he could either clear his name or face prosecution.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One of them, lawyer Mark Tarrant, observes bitterly that, in his view, Bitel had taken international law designed to protect the vulnerable and used it as a weapon against them.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Bitel had scaled the heights of his profession. Over the course of his career he served as president of the <b>Refugee</b> Council of Australia, chairman of the Australian <b>Refugee</b> Foundation and the <b>Refugee</b> Advice and Casework Service, the secretary general of the International Commission of Jurists (Australian Section) and a judicial member of the Equal Opportunity Division of the NSW Administrative Decisions Tribunal. He was on the <span class="companylink">Law Society of NSW</span>'s Human Rights Committee.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In an article celebrating him in the society's journal, he boasted of being known as "the father of Bangladeshi Australians".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In a video interview produced this year by a website for expatriate Bangladeshis, bddiaspora.com, Bitel is introduced as the "Westerner" who has become closest to the expatriate community in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In it Bitel speaks with startling clarity of his cancer and details how he became known for his success in having Australia recognise that persecution of homosexuality in Bangladesh was a cause for being accepted as a <b>refugee</b>. "I actually acted for the first gay Bangladeshi in the world to be approved as a <b>refugee</b> in 1991, here in Australia ... on the basis of sexuality. That particular case was the first case in the world and it had some ramifications."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One of those ramifications, he says, is copycats: people claiming to be homosexual to secure permanent residency.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Bitel's career and reputation grew through the 1990s and 2000s and he became the lead partner at the Sydney firm Parish Patience. But also over that period, allegations about his behaviour began to swirl through legal circles.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In 2002, a client of Tarrant's confided Bitel had told him it was easy for Bangladeshis to secure permanent residency in Australia by falsely claiming to be facing persecution for being homosexual. Tarrant was disturbed by the story. It suggested a high-profile colleague was breaking the law.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In 2004, Tarrant heard another story about Bitel, this time from a New Zealand lawyer who <span class="companylink">Fairfax Media</span> has interviewed. He told Tarrant he had come across claims Bitel had committed chilling crimes while in Dhaka, Bangladesh, a city he often visited for work. Tarrant recommended he contact the <span class="companylink">Australian Federal Police</span>. After writing to the AFP, the lawyer says, New Zealand police interviewed Bitel but nothing came of it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Fast forward to about 2007. One day Tarrant had lunch with another immigration lawyer, Brett Slater, who said one of his clients, a Nepalese man, tearfully told him he had been sexually assaulted by Bitel in his office. The client, whose name has been suppressed by a court order, eventually returned to Nepal after his bid for residency failed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The following year, Tarrant made his own work trip to Dhaka and heard further rumours about Bitel's behaviour. He made a side trip to Kathmandu to find the Nepalese victim.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On April 30, 2008, the two met in a tourist hotel called the Yak and Yeti. The man again wept as he told Tarrant of Bitel's alleged assault and confirmed he wanted to pursue the matter. According to a statement the lawyers later took to police, in 1995 Bitel led the man into his Sydney office and locked the door behind him.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"He quickly came very close to me, got down low, and opened the zip of my pants."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Bitel began performing oral sex. "I was stunned, I was wondering why he was doing this. I had never seen anything like this before in my life ... I was afraid ... I did not want him to do it ... I was crying."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The statement goes on to outline how the man backed away and the assault ended. In the following weeks, Bitel made an application to the <b>Refugee</b> Review Tribunal on his behalf, falsely stating he was a homosexual and faced persecution. He then instructed the man to give false evidence at his hearing.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Back in Australia, Tarrant and Slater came across a second Bitel client who told a similar story. In 2009, the second victim told <span class="companylink">Fairfax Media</span> that Bitel told him during a meeting in his office he could get him permanent residency if he said he was gay.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At a second meeting Bitel was more blunt, the man told <span class="companylink">Fairfax Media</span>. "If you sleep with me you will get permanent residency," he said, blocking the door to his office. Bitel then grabbed his penis through his trousers before opening his fly and saying: "Can I give you a head job?" The man says he pushed him away and left.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Meanwhile, concerned Bitel might pose a risk to other clients, Tarrant and Slater took their material to the police, who began an investigation. Slater gathered their evidence and presented it to the <span class="companylink">Law Society of NSW</span>, the NSW Legal Services Commissioner, which handles complaints about lawyers in this state, and the Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority, another federal government body.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">To the dismay of the two men, Bitel was allowed to continue practising while the police investigation proceeded slowly. Detectives asked <span class="companylink">Fairfax Media</span> not to publish its information at the time for fear of disrupting their work. Slater and Tarrant understand that, during the investigation, another Bitel client walked into a police station to level charges.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Also in 2009, <span class="companylink">Fairfax Media</span> interviewed another of Bitel's former clients, Pedro Rojas, whose allegations never became part of legal proceedings. Rojas went on to become a student at <span class="companylink">Macquarie University</span> and eventually a university lecturer in his native Venezuela, but in 1992 he had been just another young man hoping Bitel could secure him a life in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On about the fourth time they met, according to Rojas, Bitel threw an open manila envelope full of photographs onto the desk between them. Some spilled out and Rojas recalls being chilled.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"A few pictures came out from the envelope. I didn't touch them, I just saw a few pictures on the desk of a few boys, young kids on a <b>boat</b> and in a bedroom," Rojas said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph"> 'He mentioned Thailand, Bangladesh and India. He said he goes often [on trips] and he do all these things ... He was on a bed and there were a few boys on the bed."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Rojas was shocked and confused. "I was applying to stay in Australia. I was thinking, should I report this and then lose my residency?"</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Rojas said Bitel locked the door and told him: "If you don't want to pay for your case then you should do as I say." Bitel tried to grab him, Rojas pushed him away and fled. To this day he has never met the two lawyers who gathered evidence against Bitel, nor heard any other details about the case.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph"> Finally, in 2012, Bitel was charged. But Tarrant and Slater are disappointed that, until the day he died, Bitel remained registered to practise in NSW. "Bitel's victims could be forgiven for thinking that the legal profession was cheering a lawyer-rapist on from the sidelines," Tarrant says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He notes that, despite the raft of charges laid in December 2012, the <span class="companylink">Law Council of Australia</span> allowed his firm to sponsor a cocktail party for delegates of its immigration law conference at NSW Parliament House in March 2014.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Bitel was included in the 2014-15 Best Australian Lawyers list.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph"> Two months after his arrest, Bitel was a guest at a fundraiser at the University of NSW for ActionAid Australia, a charity that has helped vulnerable Bangladeshi children.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As recently as Thursday evening, at a conference for the <span class="companylink">International Bar Association</span> in Washington, DC, a toast was held for Bitel, who, it was said, had had a "troubled" few years. There was no mention of his alleged victims.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Asked if it had failed to take action against Bitel, the Office of the Legal Services Commissioner declined to comment. Via a statement, the Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority rejected the suggestion that any complaints had not been acted upon properly.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Any allegation that relates to sexual assault is a matter for police investigation," it said. "Criminal charges take precedence over registration matters. OMARA does not have the power to suspend an agent while an investigation is ongoing and before specific findings have been made."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A spokeswoman for ActionAid said the fundraiser Bitel attended was arranged by an independent fundraising arm.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Law Council said via a spokesman that Bitel's firm Parish Patience was a minor sponsor of the 2014 Immigration Law Conference, where the firm sponsored the opening reception.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Given concerns over the accusations against Mr Bitel, Parish Patience's request for sponsorship was referred to the Chair of the Professional Ethics Committee prior to the event.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"The firm's sponsorship request was accepted as the allegations were against an individual from the firm, rather than the firm itself.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"The Law Council regrets any distress that may have been caused due to the firm's sponsorship."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After speaking with <span class="companylink">Fairfax Media</span> in 2009, Rojas sent an email that read in part: "I feel bad for not speaking at that time ... but ... one's mind ignores the damages due to thinking that he had the power back then to get rid of you by cancelling your visa.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Those pictures that flew out of the envelope onto his desk, I have never forgotten them. It's like it was yesterday."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph"> 'Bitel's victims could be forgiven for thinking the legal profession was cheering a lawyer-rapist on from the sidelines.' Lawyer Mark Tarrant</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">About 21 million people in the world today are considered to be refugees - a number that's not far short of the collected population of Australia. And no, before the shrill warnings of the Pauline Hansons or Donald Trumps of the world start to ring in your ears, not every <b>refugee</b> is about to get on a <b>boat</b>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Many refugees live in squalid camps, yet most choose to make the best of a life displaced, hoping to some day return to a lost home. About a quarter of global refugees are Palestinians.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The total number of refugees judged by the United Nations to need permanent resettlement is expected to be closer to 1.2 million next year.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And no, Australia has no obligation to offer everyone in need a new home, which is regrettably the type of a straw man proposition that the turbulent debate swirling about refugees in this country seems to reward. But it is true that there are far more refugees in the world today in need of resettlement than places available.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">All that is necessary is for Australia - and every country - to adopt a fair approach to what is, after all, a global challenge that no single nation can solve alone. We should be proud to help. This is the nation of the "fair go", after all.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yet there is precious little regard for the fair go in Australia's present approach to refugees. Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull might choose to lecture, as he did before global leaders in New York last week, about the government's hardline attitude to border protection. But the stance is hardly one to talk up.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This failing is not unique to the Coalition. Labor has shrunk equally in ensuring that Australia responds to what is a global responsibility. The bipartisan embrace of offshore processing has shoved more than 1000 people to camps in the Pacific, seemingly out of sight, out of mind, as far as their welfare is concerned. Yet this cruel treatment of desperate people is perversely trumpeted as a necessary deterrent against others who would seek <b>asylum</b>. If every country adopted Australia's present stance as a model, the suffering would be enormous. Imagine if Jordan, Lebanon or Turkey had simply slammed the door shut on refugees fleeing from Syria. Geography plays a part. There is no doubt grave danger in the passage to Australia. But political leaders have too often used the risk of a <b>boat</b> voyage as an excuse to pander to base prejudice.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is true that the government is settling 12,000 Syrians, having been driven to the policy by public outrage. But the slow pace of bringing people to Australia, supposedly based on national security concerns, suggests not enough priority is being awarded to the program.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Turnbull has also declared he will preserve an overall <b>refugee</b> resettlement program of almost 19,000 a year, which will now draw from camps in Central America. Speculation is rife this latest commitment could be a precursor to a swap that will vacate the camps on Manus Island and Nauru. The far simpler option would be to bring those in the Pacific detention centres to Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Once in this country, refugees must be afforded greater support. It is disturbing, as we report today, to see a spate of suicides among Hazaras who fled Afghanistan.

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As the Turnbull team has started to show, nothing succeeds like competence</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Less than four weeks ago Labor frontbencher Sam Dastyari declared Malcolm Turnbull would not see out another 18 months as Prime Minister. His taunt resonated more than the average partisan barb because it was sensational yet plausible. For now, however, it seems the hubris resided with the challenger rather than the incumbent. During the ensuing month, Turnbull’s political fortunes have accrued in inverse proportion to those of Dastyari, now a mere backbench senator.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Fresh from his best week in parliament, passing $6.3 billion in budget cuts and brokering a partyroom compromise on superannuation reforms, Turnbull has had a strong week rubbing shoulders with world leaders at the <span class="companylink">UN</span> in New York. Importantly, he held firm on <b>asylum</b>-seeker policy and was rewarded with praise rather than admonition from an international community rediscovering the essential value of border control to the sovereign state.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">By stringing together two weeks of competent government the Prime Minister has demonstrated how quickly authority can be asserted from the nation’s top office. Nothing succeeds in politics like competence.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Before you know it journalists, commentators and even the Coalition partyroom will be starting to think that Dastyari got it wrong.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The split-second volatility of modern political commentary — like the computer-driven peaks and troughs of modern markets — has an ill-defined but undeniable influence on outcomes. One of the reasons political leadership has been so unstable in recent years is that the media has jumped en masse to polls and prodding, and this has spooked impressionable politicians.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So, just as Turnbull was written off weeks ago after losing votes in parliament and seeing his predecessor speak out on policy matters, we can now expect over-corrections as gallery journalists suggest their man has finally found his feet. In politics, we must always remember, things are never as good or as bad as they seem.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Turnbull administration has lacked discipline, policy substance and advocacy skills, and these endemic weaknesses have every potential to undercut its own success at any moment. Yet the past fortnight at least has enabled us to see how the government can reveal itself and map a route to success if only it can sustain reasonable levels of unity, ambition and competence.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Between now and the end of the year we can reasonably expect the government to pass legislation to lower company tax rates for small businesses and to reduce superannuation concessions. There is also a possibility it could pass its double-dissolution trigger bills: reinstating the Australian Building and Construction Commission and holding union officials to higher standards of accountability through the registered organisations amendments to the Fair Work Act.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The fate of these bills will rest largely on the vagaries of the Senate crossbench and could end in tears. But some within government are hopeful.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If all this were to transpire, Turnbull would end the year having passed budget repair, superannuation changes, tax cuts and ind­ustrial relations reform through the troublesome parliament. To be sure, all the changes are modest, but they are reforms and they touch on crucial policy areas.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Such an eventuality would have Turnbull looking buoyed and secure for a new year when, with Scott Morrison, he would plan to deliver more fiscal reform through their second budget. Imagine the public reassurance in a year of steady, purposeful government without tumult — we haven’t seen one for a decade.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Importantly, while Turnbull has been overseas, Social Services Minister Christian Porter unfurled a new reform front in what could be one of the most promising developments since the change of prime minister. Porter’s data-driven focus on investing in individuals to move them from welfare to self-reliance has been covered in detail in these pages; it is the start of a long reform agenda that eventually will reduce and simplify payment categories and spread mutual obligation principles to more welfare recipients.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But most encouraging for the Coalition was the way Porter shaped the debate; how he constructed his advocacy. This has been a lesson in how to build a political case, the likes of which the government has not executed since it won power in 2013.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">From the mangled National Commission of Audit and budget process in early 2014 to this year’s fumbled tax reform debate, the Coalition has not managed the standard process of explaining a dilemma, framing options for reform and delivering a preferred policy response.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Porter has been working assiduously at his welfare reforms since his appointment a year ago and clearly did a great deal of legwork preparing his arguments and briefing stakeholders over many months before revealing his overview at the <span class="companylink">National Press Club</span> .</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He gave an exclusive interview to The Weekend Australian’s editor-at-large Paul Kelly that provided a detailed and intelligent preview last weekend, provided more information to sustain Sunday newspaper stories, briefed the ABC, which sent Lateline reporter David Lipson to New Zealand to examine the reforms that provided Porter’s inspiration, then delivered his speech and embarked on saturation media interviews. And this is just the begin­ning of an advocacy process he expects to continue throughout the term.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Porter has provided a template for other ministers. This is how to outline a case, brief the media and inform the electorate. He has prepared a base from which to cajole and persuade, relentlessly, in the public and political realms.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This is how to advocate reform in our bicameral and oppositionist system. It shows that Porter (and his former media adviser Mark Simkin, who has been snaffled by Turnbull’s office) understands the process outlined a fortnight ago by former treasurer Peter Costello. “Before the public’s going to take the medicine on spending, taxes, whatever, you’ve got to tell them what the illness is,” Costello said. “They’ve got to be convinced it’s an illness worth treating.” Strategically, Porter has presented a values-based argument, not a cold case about the budget bottom line. The dilemma he outlines is people with the capability to work spending a lifetime on welfare at a great cost to their own potential. The minister wants buy-in on the aims and objectives of any reform before trying to implement the solutions; improving the budget position is a dividend from fixing the social need. The Turnbull team needs to adopt this staged approach as its modus operandi for taking the public with it towards meaningful reform.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
Tony Abbott and Joe Hockey tried the crash through or crash approach but crashed. And Turnbull was lucky to survive this year’s tentative, don’t-scare-the-horses approach.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Traps and hurdles aplenty remain for the Coalition. Most obvious is the gay marriage debate and Labor’s opposition to a plebiscite. Turnbull has stayed true to Abbott’s plebiscite compromise, which has kept the party united and proven popular.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If the national vote goes ahead it could be expected to succeed, leading to a successful parliamentary vote and enabling Turnbull to walk a significant national reform down the aisle of history. But Labor seems intent on denying him this slice of history, and the political momentum it may bring.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For all the arguments about unnecessary costs, complicated processes and divisive debates, this partisan politicking is the real driver of Bill Shorten’s resistance. After all, if it were the reform that mattered, $160 million and a few months of debate is a bargain-basement price.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If Shorten blocks the plebiscite it will be in the hope of creating political chaos. Would Coalition MPs cross the floor to help usher a private member’s bill through parliament? Could this succeed and undermine Turnbull’s authority? Would the threat of such shenanigans spook the Prime Minister into pushing for a parliamentary vote that might spark an internal uprising from conservative MPs?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In coming weeks this will be an unpredictable game of bluff. Turnbull is best advised to hold firm on the plebiscite as the people’s choice and make Labor pay a price for any attempt to politicise what it says is an important social reform.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Still, even as we consider the chaos that could unfold if Turnbull faces a block on the plebiscite or his trigger bills, we can start to see how a series of modest wins will transform the outlook for his prime ministership.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After seizing the job a year ago he invited upon himself four significant burdens: a lack of legitimacy because of how he attained the job; inflated expectations as the public and the media invested their hopes in him; the imperative to deliver on economic reform; and the need to retain power by winning an election. For all his trials, only one of these remains: delivering on economic reform.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The silver-lining of his poor campaign and narrow victory is that expectations have been drastically lowered. Just as raised expectations saw hopes sag as he dawdled, now even minor victories such as passing his budget savings lift hopes in his leadership.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Post-election, the legitimacy issue no longer lingers (although many conservatives will never forgive his treachery), he has a full term ahead of him and Liberals are predisposed to leadership loyalty because another change would reduce them to Labor’s theatre of the absurd. And, importantly, he has fashioned the beginnings of an economic narrative.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Given the Coalition’s infuriating campaign folly of not highlighting Labor’s vulnerabilities on border security, carbon pricing, union corruption, tax increases and deeper deficits, there is even the prospect that, if he can survive, a second Turnbull campaign could be two-dimensional and effective.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Certainly his rhetoric on border protection in New York this week suggests the Prime Minister is no longer worried about sounding like an Eastern suburbs version of his predecessor. “So we know what works, our policy is right, it is principled, it is pragmatic, it stops people-smugglers, it stops people drowning at sea and it finds homes in Australia for thousands of refugees,” Turnbull said. “But the message we send to the people-smugglers has to be very clear; if you seek to come to Australia by <b>boat</b>, with a people-smuggler, you won’t succeed, full stop.” Staying strong on such issues reassures not only the public but also the conservative MPs in his own party.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">To assert leadership and offer comfort to the broader electorate he is also going to have to speak more openly about the issues of domestic Islamic extremism and Muslim integration. Unless he embraces this dual social and security issue he will leave it to the likes of Pauline Hanson , allowing his government to appear impotent.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Denial is no solution. If Turnbull is worried about the tone of the debate — as he should be when half the population opposes Muslim migration (according to an Essential Media opinion poll) — then he needs to shape that debate rather than condemn it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If he is worried about Muslim Australians being ostracised, as he should be, he needs to speak openly and draw them into the debate too, not to attack the Hansonites but to work collaboratively against extremism and co-operatively towards deeper integration. Turnbull ought to — needs to — make this a core task of his prime ministership because it is what the nation needs in response to a dangerous and unsettling threat designed to sow division and rattle confidence in our own society.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Tellingly, in Washington yesterday Turnbull spoke to this. “Because this extremism within Islam, which we call Islamist extremism, Islamist terrorism — this is at the heart of the problem that we are grappling with,” he said. “Now defeating Daesh (Islamic State) on the battlefield is critically important, absolutely vital, but the battle to keep Australians safe and Americans safe from extremism, from Islamist extremism, will continue until that battle of ideas is won within Islam.” Turnbull faces multiple challenges but two of them are of historic significance: repairing the budget at a time of great transition, and resisting the threat of Islamist extremism. Leaders who meet major challenges steadfastly and with competence write history. Turnbull does not need to come up with naff phrases or confected narratives; these two tasks provide all the shape a prime ministership requires. With some modest markers in the ground, the path to a successful Turnbull prime ministership is discernible. The test is for him to see that and stay on course.Chris Kenny was Malcolm Turnbull ’s chief of staff in 2009.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And now, back to border protection.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There's nothing like a week at the <span class="companylink">United Nations General Assembly</span> to remind one how messed up the world is.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And then there's Kevin Rudd . Not messed up but clearly still shirty - and understandably so - at that questionable assessment by federal cabinet that he lacked the temperament to nominate for the job of UN Secretary-General.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">With his usual impeccable timing, Rudd, who was in New York at the <span class="companylink">UN</span> , used an interview with Sky News to let rip at Turnbull once more for doing his ultimate ambition in the eye.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Earlier the same day, at a press conference, Turnbull gave Rudd a serve for his decision as prime minister to unravel the Howard government's border policies, a calamitous decision which, perhaps helped by the Coalition's refusal to adopt Labor's Malaysia plan and stymie the flow, led to 50,000 <b>boat</b> arrivals and to today's intractable problem of the people in Nauru and Manus Island.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Turnbull called it "the biggest policy failure in the history of the Commonwealth". That's a fair stretch but it's probably in the top 20 in terms of sheer human, political and economic consequence.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The combination of the two men angrily turning on each other on Wednesday in the Big Apple did ensure that Turnbull's highlight of the week, his address to the <span class="companylink">UN General Assembly</span> , received little attention at home.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was not a great speech but it was solid. Turnbull used it to bring together the threads of what he had been saying all week about the global crisis of 65 million displaced people.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">His most salient point was that it did not matter how many refugees wealthy countries took in.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"The scale of the <b>refugee</b> and internally displaced persons problem is so great ... that resettlement in other countries can never come close to being near enough," he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"The most urgent priority is to re-establish stability and assure security in the regions of conflict and, in addition, ensure that there are greater opportunities for economic advancement in the source countries of so much of this irregular migration.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"All of this requires co-operation and that includes ... member states accepting the return of their citizens who do not qualify for protection, whether on a voluntary or involuntary basis."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Given none of the above is likely to happen any time soon, the immediate challenge is for nations to help as many genuine refugees as they can.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But governments will not have the political capital to do so, nor much else, unless they are perceived to be in control of their own borders. John Howard has said it for years.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Once he brought people smuggling under control, immigration numbers hit near record levels and the punters never noticed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Turnbull was right when he said repeatedly throughout the week and again in his speech, that Tony Abbott would not have been able to offer sanctuary to 12,000 Syrians, nor increase Australia's humanitarian intake to 18,750 if the boats had been coming.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It's a hard lesson being learnt elsewhere. Uncontrolled immigration almost single-handedly drove Britain's Brexit vote and has now forced a policy rethink in Britain.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This week, German Chancellor Angela Merkel expressed regret for her open invitation to Syrian refugees which saw 1 million people arrive in her country.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The consequence? Her CDU party is being flayed at local elections by the right wing, anti-immigration party Alternative for Germany.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Shadowing the <span class="companylink">UN</span> all week was the complete circus which is the US presidential election campaign and the increasingly anti-immigration rhetoric of Donald Trump whose chances of victory must not be discounted.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Fuelled by the Afghan immigrant who detonated bombs in New Jersey and New York, Trump, at a rally in Florida, dusted off a fable in which a kindly woman rescues a wounded snake. After the snake has healed, it bites her, telling her as she is dying that she should have known better given he was a snake.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At the same time, his son Don jnr fell foul of confectionary company Wrigley when he posted a message on <span class="companylink">Twitter</span> comparing Syrian refugees to a bowl of Skittles and asking would you take a handful if you knew that "just three would kill you". This is mainstream stuff in the US now. Perhaps that explains the underwhelming announcement by Barack Obama that America was upping its humanitarian intake to 110,000 people. That's in a country of 300 million. Australia will take almost 19,000 a year by 2018-19, making it the world's third highest performer on a per capita basis.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The global backlash against refugees in western countries has broader economic consequences. It destabilises governments and the likes of Trump conflate it with such issues as free trade.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Despite the optimism expressed this week by Obama and his Treasury Secretary Jack Lew, there is little expectation that the <span class="companylink">US Congress</span> will ratify the Trans-Pacific partnership, a 12-nation regional free-trade pact, during the lame duck period between the November 8 US elections and the inauguration of the new president and Congress.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Both Trump and Hilary Clinton have opposed the TPP on the basis it costs jobs. Just like migrants.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In his final <span class="companylink">UN General Assembly</span> address, Obama, as usual, defined the problem best, when he said continuing the push for globalisation required more than just acknowledging and explaining the benefits so far achieved.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It required acknowledging that the existing path to global integration needed a course correction so economic, political, and cultural disruptions were addressed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Too often, those trumpeting the benefits of globalisation have ignored inequality within and among nations; have ignored the enduring appeal of ethnic and sectarian identities; have left international institutions ill-equipped, underfunded, under-resourced, in order to handle transnational challenges," he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The price of neglect included "religious fundamentalism; the politics of ethnicity, or tribe, or sect; aggressive nationalism and a crude populism which seeks to restore what they believe was a better, simpler age free of outside contamination".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"We cannot dismiss these visions. They are powerful. They reflect dissatisfaction among too many of our citizens. I do not believe those visions can deliver security or prosperity over the long term, but I do believe that these visions fail to recognise, at a very basic level, our common humanity."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is true. Trump and his ilk did not create this swamp. They have risen from it.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The revelations come as The Advertiser this week became the first media organisation allowed on the frontline of Operation Sovereign Borders – tasked with stopping the arrival of illegal boats. A fleet of P3 Orion aircraft, supporting Maritime Border Command, are flying as low as 100 feet and are using radars, satellites and on-board cameras to zoom in on vessels to spot people smuggling ventures before they can penetrate the borders.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The large aircraft are backed by Border Force Dash 8 planes, on shorter missions, and maritime arsenal.

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Immigration Minister Peter Dutton said: “Operation Sovereign Borders has stopped drownings and got kids out of detention. The next step is to get women and children off Nauru and into third countries.” Australia is keeping a close watch on the European crisis, where at least 7000 refugees drowned in the Mediterranean in just three days in May alone.But Operation Sovereign Borders chief Major-General Andrew Bottrell told The Advertiser that after three years, OSB had been reinforced to a point where border protection had never been stronger.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australia has a historical opportunity to influence the outcomes of this week's <b>refugee</b> summits.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On Monday, the UN Secretary-General convened a high-level "meeting to address large movements of refugees and migrants". World leaders endorsed an "Outcome Document" that commits states to negotiating a "comprehensive <b>refugee</b> response framework" and separately a "global compact for safe, orderly and regular migration", for adoption in 2018. The following day, US President Obama hosted a Leaders' Summit on the <b>Refugee</b> Crisis, to generate financial support and more resettlement places for refugees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Critics have been quick to react. There wasn't enough consultation before or during either meeting - attendance by civil society representatives was limited, many couldn't get into the meetings because of security requirements at the <span class="companylink">UN</span>, and those who did listened to a series of prepared statements by governments. At the <span class="companylink">UN</span> these governments have kicked the real decisions down the road, and left themselves ample room to row back from vague commitments. Maybe another 10,000 migrants will die in the Mediterranean between now and 2018.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At the Obama Summit, the main headline was the private sector filling the void left by governments. Both the <span class="companylink">UN</span> and world leaders only sat up and took notice once refugees started arriving in Europe - never mind the millions displaced for decades in Africa and Asia. What does it say for global co-ordination that the UN Secretary-General and US President host competing events on the same issue on consecutive days?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There is a more positive read-out. The ceasefire in Syria may already be in jeopardy, but at least the world is at last paying attention to its victims. The UN Outcome Document lays the foundations for significant, much-needed reform, and acknowledges the need for more effective global governance on migration and refugees. President Obama was explicit about the roles and responsibilities of the private sector and civil society. The events were largely complementary - the high-level meeting set in train a process; while the Obama Summit was a "pay to play" event with immediate dividends.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As I argued in a recent Lowy Analysis, Australia has a historic opportunity to influence these outcomes.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It may be argued that Australia has more pressing priorities. Now that the <b>boat</b> arrivals have stopped, Australia is hardly affected by the current <b>refugee</b> crisis. Last year Australia processed less than 1 per cent of the world's <b>asylum</b> applications. It clearly fulfils its international obligations through a generous <b>refugee</b> resettlement program, the third-largest in the world, and has one of the world's best-managed migration programs.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But in fact it is in Australia's national interest to take a lead. First, it is important to pre-empt future shocks that may result in an increase in <b>asylum</b> applications. There is no guarantee that Operation Sovereign Borders will be sustainable - it may be overwhelmed by large numbers of boats or undercut by legal challenges and financial constraints. In the next decade, Australia should also expect growing pressures from people seeking to escape the effects of environmental change.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Second, in comparison to most other industrialised states, especially in Europe, Australia has a historic opportunity to be proactive. As Australia learned a few years ago, there is no political appetite or policy bandwidth to focus on long-term reform in the throes of a short-term <b>asylum</b> crisis. This is exactly why the world needs Australia to conceptualise, propose and support reform now. Promoting reform of the international protection regime may also be one way for Australia to allay some of the international criticism it has attracted because of its <b>asylum</b> policy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Third, advocating to improve the performance of the international protection regime is a logical progression of Australia's historic commitment towards it. It was Australia's signature in 1954 that brought the 1951 <b>Refugee</b> Convention into force. One of the underlying principles is shared responsibility. Proximity should define responsibility, and Australia has a responsibility to help improve the response to the global <b>refugee</b> crisis, even if it is not directly affected for now.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The world may have helicoptered into Base Camp, but Australia can now lead the assault to scale the migration summit.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At this year’s <span class="companylink">UN General Assembly</span> a remarkable transformation has taken place. Instead of being labelled an international pariah for its border protection policies, Australia’s example is being looked at favourably by others.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">What’s more, Malcolm Turnbull, once seen as the “compassionate” voice on <b>asylum</b>-seekers within the Coalition, has been sounding like John Howard and Tony Abbott while standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Peter Dutton to spruik the “good story” they have to tell.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At the heart of the transformation is this: a disciplined immigration system has restored public confidence to the extent that larger intakes of migrants and refugees are accepted by the public.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Part of the Prime Minister’s successful transformation has been a recognition of the need to take a tough stance and the ability to exploit the benefits of having “stopped the boats”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In 2001, facing a much smaller influx of illegal <b>boat</b> arrivals, Howard set out the principle and politics of controlling the borders, and “deciding who comes to this country and the circumstances in which they come”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor’s abandonment of the policy and politics of border protection set up Abbott as the cruel and heartless politician prepared to endanger people’s lives at sea, risk “war” with Indonesia, imprison children and deny basic human rights.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Abbott’s success in stopping the boats, closing detention centres and removing children from custody never developed into more than a promise achieved.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The greatest movement of people since World War II has changed all of that and Turnbull has been able to exploit those achievements and articulate a reasoned and reasonable argument that is resonating globally. Turnbull — and Dutton — have declared at the <span class="companylink">UN</span> that border control is essential to stop deaths at sea and to restore public confidence in the system. This then allows greater humanitarian assistance.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s admission that she wished she could “turn back the clock” on immigration, and not just improve integration but stop “uncontrolled and unregulated migration” is a tipping point in the global debate about the uncontrolled movement of people.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As Turnbull told Barack Obama’s <b>refugee</b> summit in New York: “Strong borders are not just about security. They are crucial to ensuring social harmony and public support for migration domestically.”As the Australian Immigration Minister said after meeting <span class="companylink">EU</span> representatives, there is a lot of interest in the “Australian experience”, although Turnbull and Dutton have been careful not to tell others what to do. In any case, it’s a transformation of the argument based on positive results against a backdrop of social and political dissent, not to mention terrorism, in Europe where Australia is certainly not seen as a pariah.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">New York | Malcolm Turnbull has boosted his government's humanitarian <b>refugee</b> program as Britain began embracing elements of Australia's stance, which combines a hardline approach with compassion.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who precipitated an uncontrolled surge of refugees across Europe last year with her open-ended invitation to Syrians, expressed regret after her Christian Democratic party suffered another local election defeat at the hands of right-wing, anti-migrant party Alternative for Germany. "If I could, I would turn back time for many, many years, to prepare better," she said of her comments, which led to a million refugees arriving in her country.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At the United Nations in New York early on Wednesday AEST, Australia was one of a handful of countries invited to a special summit on refugees hosted by US President Barack Obama.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Turnbull used the occasion to announce the policy changes and repeat the message he has brought to New York - a government that fails to control its borders faces political destabilisation and will never win public support to take in refugees in a controlled manner, something critical with 65 million displaced people worldwide.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He told the summit Australia would make permanent a new annual humanitarian intake of 18,750 refugees, up from 13,750. His predecessor Tony Abbott announced just over a year ago the increased intake would take effect from 2018-19, but it was never guaranteed beyond that.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Turnbull also promised another $130 million over the next three years to support assistance to refugees, forcibly displaced communities and host countries. And he pledged Australia would participate in the US-led program to resettle Central American refugees currently in a resettlement centre in Costa Rica.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While the measures are modest, the permanent increased intake makes Australia one of the most generous countries on a per capita basis.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But Mr Turnbull said these measures, plus Mr Abbott's pledge to take an additional one-off quota of 12,000 Syrian refugees, would not have happened if <b>boat</b> people were still arriving.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Strong borders are not just about security. They are crucial to ensuring social harmony and public support for migration domestically," he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Australia is a prime example; securing our borders has increased public confidence and enabled Australia to have one of the world's most generous humanitarian regimes. Australians support these actions because they have confidence that our migration system is well managed."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Opposition Leader Bill Shorten said Mr Turnbull should stop lecturing the world and clear out the camps at Manus Island and Nauru. "They need to explain to not just the rest of the world but to Australians what's really going on in Manus and Nauru, and when are they going to get those people out of indefinite detention and make regional resettlement a reality?"</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Public anger over uncontrolled migration fuelled Britain's Brexit vote. At a <b>refugee</b> and migrant summit at the <span class="companylink">UN</span> on Tuesday, British PM Theresa May echoed the Australian approach.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mrs May argued better control of "unprecedented levels of population movement" ensured that public confidence in "the economic benefits of legal and controlled migration" was maintained. She called for the <span class="companylink">UN</span> to enshrine the principal that <b>asylum</b> seekers should be processed as close to their home country as is safely possible.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mrs May resisted calls to create more legal ways for <b>asylum</b> seekers to enter Britain by defending the nation's right to control its borders as part of a more co-ordinated response to what she described as an international "crisis".</p>

Malcolm Turnbull is right to trumpet Australia’s success</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It takes an acute lack of self-awareness and a particular underestimation of the public’s intelligence for a Labor MP to criticise the Coalition’s border protection record. In New York, Malcolm Turnbull praised his border protection policies as the “best in the world”, but back in Canberra opposition frontbencher Andrew Leigh couldn’t bring himself to agree. “There’s an awful lot that needs fixing up at home before Malcolm Turnbull and Peter Dutton go telling other countries how to run their <b>refugee</b> systems,” he said. On the contrary, perhaps Dr Leigh has not listened or learned enough about his own party’s incompetence during a vexed and traumatic 1½ decades of on-again, off-again border chaos. The Prime Minister was stating the obvious and, by sharing Australia’s experience, he can make a useful contribution to security, stability and safety globally. The man primarily responsible for reinstating order at our maritime borders, Tony Abbott, spoke on the theme in Europe. “When the illegal boats don’t arrive the drownings at sea stop,” the former prime minister said. “So, if you want to end the humanitarian crisis and if you want to end the crisis in confidence in your overall migration policies, you have just got to say: ‘We have borders, they mean something, and we will enforce the prohibition on the passage of people who wish to come illegally.’ ” Combating people-smuggling and securing borders are justifiable on the grounds of saving lives, protecting sovereignty or underpinning the integrity of immigration programs. When all three imperatives are involved the case is indisputable, yet still our national debate is replete with criticism from so-called progressives who suggest our nation should not enforce its borders or should be deeply ashamed about doing so. Dr Leigh must know that when he was in government just three years ago our borders were in chaos. Across five years upwards of 800 boats illegally ferried more than 50,000 <b>asylum</b>-seekers into our care. Detention centres were built and filled in every state, and almost 2000 children were in detention at the peak. At least 1200 people are known to have drowned attempting the journey.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A return to offshore processing — belatedly embraced by Labor in the shadows of an election — and the Coalition’s resolve in turning back boats and using temporary protection visas have been remarkably effective. The boats have been stopped and we are resettling record numbers of refugees through orderly processes. The pressing legacy task is to process and resettle almost 2000 <b>asylum</b>-seekers and refugees on Nauru and Manus Island.Just as the <span class="companylink">Productivity Commission</span> recommends improvements to our immigration system to boost integration and improve the economic outcomes, we would be deeply unwise to ignore our <b>asylum boat</b> experience. Any decisions that once more could encourage the people-smugglers must be avoided, lest the trauma and chaos be unleashed again, undermining our humanitarian efforts and the public’s confidence in our immigration system.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So the Asians didn’t swamp us as Pauline Hanson feared they might. But we did face a deluge of soft-headed compassion-mongers who managed to talk Kevin Rudd into relaxing the <b>asylum</b> rules, thus boosting Indonesia’s black market economy and depleting its supply of unseaworthy boats.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For our part we received 50,000 or so self-selected new Australians, chiefly from the Middle East and north and sub-Saharan Africa, who have struggled with barriers of language and culture and fitted in less well than the skilled and educated migrants from Asia and Europe.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That much is evident from a data-rich <span class="companylink">Productivity Commission</span> report released last week that, taken seriously, would prompt a fundamental rethink of immigration policy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The broad conclusions will give the Kumbaya crowd goose bumps: immigration is a driver of the economy; skilled and semi-skilled migrants integrate well; only a third of the population believe immigration levels are too high; discontent in many European nations is at more than twice that level.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When we get to the detail, however, the rose tint begins to lose its hue. Humanitarian migrants have miserable prospects; the likelihood they will be earning their keep in the labour market, even five years after arrival, is far lower than the general population.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Participation in the labour market is the best measure of integration, a word that fell out of favour for a while among the multicultural elite. Fortunately, the commission rejects the dreamy narrative of cultural diversity, recommending integration at the heart of government policy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“A deterioration in the integration of immigrants would be of detriment to Australia,” the commission argues.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Government policies should seek cost-effective ways to promote integration and inclusion.” It’s not for nothing, however, that the commission’s initials are PC. The report stops short of examining the pertinent question of whether a migrant’s country of birth may influence integration.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The effective ban on discussing these matters in polite company has consequences.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The arrival in the Senate of a basket of deplorables — among them Hanson and three of her chums — shows that when decent people are told not to say the unsayable, they take their votes to politicians who will.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Hanson’s dread of being “swamped by Muslims” prompted predictable scolding from the usual well-spoken arbiters of good taste.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Jonathan Green on ABC Radio National’s Sunday Extra — our weekly reminder of how the modern Left habitually misses the point — thought Hanson’s anti-Islam comments were “actually a proxy for more immediate welfare concerns about my job, my future — that sort of thing — and I’m looking for someone on whom to blame that sense of unease”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Panellist Eleanor Jackson agreed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I think it’s sad that she often wants to look down the power hierarchy to understand her feelings of insecurity rather than look more broadly in our community,” Jackson said. “Is it neoliberalism, is it globalisation?” Well, no, actually. It’s Islam. And, whether the ABC taste police want us to talk about it or not, Hanson’s anxiety is not uncommon in much of the Western world.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The reasons aren’t that hard to fathom given the unrelenting threat of terror from some of Islam’s politicised followers, compounded by the noticeable reluctance of some Muslim immigrants to integrate.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Never before in Australia’s happy and successful history of migration has the threat of separatism seemed so acute or so visible on the streets of our capital cities.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Once migrants would have felt uncomfortable going about their daily business in national dress. Yet parts of Sydney and Melbourne have become lands of the long white robe, not to mention the even more confronting burka.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">These are the outward signs of a diaspora that feels no obligation to fit in without fuss and instead transports its own conventions to a distant corner of the globe and wears them as a badge of identity.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Thanks to the internet and satellite television they remain part of the community they left behind, relying less on friendship and cultural ties in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This is not immigration as we know it but transnationalism, in which the new arrival draws support from a self-contained cultural community that strongly asserts its own identity and would, if it could, operate under its own laws.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is an existence with a conflicted sense of belonging and place, in which citizenship serves as a flag of convenience rather than a pledge of loyalty.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Humanitarian category migrants who arrived by <b>boat</b> are different from other migrants in important respects: 24 per cent of men and 67 per cent of women had never been in paid employment; 33 per cent of men and 44 per cent of women had never spoken English; 17 per cent of men and 23 per cent of women were illiterate in their own language. Unsurprisingly, they have struggled to find a job, to access government services or to make small talk with their Australian neighbours.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is their good fortune to arrive in a country that grants not just shelter but a fair go. Yet, held back by limited capacity, it’s hardly surprising if they seek the comfort of a cultural enclave from which they need never emerge.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Is this a problem? The commission thinks so.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“To the extent that immigrants’ intent to integrate is decreasing, it raises an important issue about whether this provides scope for separatism that conflicts with, and/or has the ability to undermine, key norms and longstanding understandings that are important to the functioning of Australian society and that are valued by many,” it concludes.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A nervous government would leave this bombshell of a report hidden in the bottom drawer, call community leaders in for a cup of tea and exchange pleasantries.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A wiser course would be to think again about a model of multiculturalism that badly shows its age; one that predates the internet, the mass arrival of <b>asylum</b>-seekers on our shores and the rise of an assertive religious ideology.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Hanson is justified in sensing the vulnerability of the Australian way of life. But the threat is not a surfeit of Islam, it’s the failure of integration.Nick Cater is executive director of <span class="companylink">Menzies Research Centre</span>.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I am writing to you from Nauru to share with you one remaining fragment of our humanity and dignity, as you gather to meet and discuss the suffering of refugees around the world.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I travelled by <b>boat</b> to Australia in July 2013 with my family, seeking protection after escaping persecution in Iran. When we arrived on Christmas Island, everyone was caught by the Australian authorities and we were told that we would never be resettled in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But in fact after some time we were divided into two groups, and one lucky group was detained on Christmas Island and eventually resettled in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We were in the other group, and we were told we would be sent offshore for three months to process our <b>refugee</b> claims, after which we would be resettled in a third country.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We simply trusted what they told us. Yet more than three years later we are still trapped in Nauru, like rare animals living in an Australian-made zoo.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After being brought to Nauru we spent almost 24 months in detention, before we were finally found to be genuine refugees. Since then I have not slept even one night without having recurring nightmares of those endless months living in a hot, mouldy tent.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We became so alienated from our humanity, we were thoroughly transformed into a bunch of animals after years of living in the most appalling conditions possible. Australia and Nauru made a big cage with many white tents in a slightly depressed area of the island (they deliberately selected this location because it is the hottest part of Nauru).</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They called it a regional processing centre but we called</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">it a Slaughter Camp. They treated us like dangerous criminals, with two zookeepers assigned for every three animals, as well as cameras recording our every movement.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The zookeepers were allowed to carry out every kind of behaviour which they desired.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Except there was to be no compassion shown towards cubs and female animals, in fact some zookeepers even raped these helpless trapped animals and abused the children (as revealed in the leaked incident reports published by <span class="companylink">The Guardian</span>).</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In many cases the female animals were sexually harassed in exchange for having three minutes longer in the shower.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Suicides and abuse and self-harm are all part of this processing regime, an inevitable part.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">My family was lucky - we got the chance about a year ago to come out and live in the bigger zoo (all 21 square kilometres of Nauru).</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">About 920 other animals have also been assessed as refugees and most now have better accommodation living in the Nauruan community (while 410 animals remain in the decrepit tents, still waiting for their claims to be assessed).</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But it is too late. Australia and Nauru have already degraded our humanity to an animal-like state. Both governments have developed a flawless and systematic process to criminalise and objectify human beings, perhaps inherited from Australia's convict history.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">To this day we are still like walking ghosts, utterly broken and hopeless. We are hollowed out and devoid of any enthusiasm for life, and we are stuck in an animalistic state of existence because that is what we have become.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Or even worse, myself and some others are basically just plants or vegetables, withdrawn in our pots for fear of the other animals. We absorb nutrients, sleep and breed, just like plants (ironically, back in Iran, I was an expert on plant life cycles as an agricultural engineer - but that feels like ancient history now).</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Some of these animals are very useful for digging and moving rocks, so they are exploited by the Nauruan government to rehabilitate the island, which has been severely depleted and poisoned after decades of phosphate mining, with soil concentrations of cadmium over 460 times the normal level in some locations.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Obviously animals are illiterate with no high-level abilities, so they are never given skilled, well-paid jobs - only Nauruan people can do those.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Since animals don't need an education, my son and most of the other tame cubs haven't attended school for over one year, due to abuse from other children.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Actually animals at the zoo are better off than us in some ways, for example medically: they have dedicated specialists who look after them, whereas we animals in Nauru are even deprived of adequate medical care.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The [International Health and Medical Services] doctors usually just provide superficial treatments. Some of these animals have been surviving for years on a daily injection of physical or psychological painkillers, without ever receiving any substantive curative treatments.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And if any doctors become overwhelmed with compassion and speak to the media about the suffering these animals endure, the Australian government has threatened to put them in jail.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Is there really such a thing as human rights in this world, and if so, where are all the advocates and lawyers and courts?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Why is nobody prosecuting Australia for such crimes against humanity?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australia is confidently breaking and breaching every convention and rule which human beings have established to date, and we have been selected as the victims of this evil and despicable game.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The more we suffer, the less likely it is that other refugees will come and ask Australia for protection. I pray that God will give you and the world's leaders wisdom, compassion and a burning desire for justice as you meet over the next two days.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yours sincerely,</p>

Malcolm Turnbull has declared Australia’s policy on border protection “the best in the world” and said the strong policies had avoided destabilisation and allowed one of the “most generous humanitarian programs”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Speaking in New York before the UN General Assembly leaders’ meeting and US President Barack Obama’s ­immigration and security conference, the Prime Minister said: “Our policy on border protect­ion is the best in the world. We have established and maintained control of our borders.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Public opinion will not accept a generous humanitarian prog­ram, a substantial migration ­program, unless the government is seen to be in command of its borders,” he added, echoing John Howard’s 2001 election declara­tion that a country must decide who comes across its borders.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When asked about <span class="companylink">UN</span> critic­ism of Australia’s <b>boat</b> turnbacks, offshore processing and detention on Nauru and Manus Island in PNG, Mr Turnbull said Australia would not be changing its policies.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“You’ve seen around the world the way in which uncontrolled ­migration flows start to destabilise countries and undermine support for migration, undermine support for multiculturalism, undermine the mutual respect which is the foundation of a successful multicultural society like ours,” Mr Turnbull said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We need to have the right ­responses. We believe in Australia we have set out the right responses and the results make the case.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Strong borders, a commitment to strong borders — demonstrating that the Australian government is in command of who comes into Australia — and at the same time one of the most generous humanitarian programs in the world and the two go together.’’ Immigration Minister Peter Dutton, who is also attending the conference, said Australia could not have generous <b>refugee</b> intakes unless it stopped the illegal <b>boat</b> arrivals. “Yesterday marked the third anniversary of the implement­ation of Operation Sovereign Borders to stop the boats,” he says in an article published in The Australian today.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Critics said it couldn’t be done. That we would not be able to end the uncontrolled flow of people-smugglers’ boats and the tens of thousands of illegal arrivals they carried to Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Three years on, we are able to assert that once again Australia is in control of its borders.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The boats have been stopped, lives of desperate and vulnerable people aren’t being lost on a perilous sea journey, detention centres are closed and those necessary ­facilities that remain will soon be empty of all but those who pose a threat to our society.” Mr Turnbull said he would not be “telling other nations what to do” but would set out the Australian experience and that “we know exactly what the consequence of abandoning those strong policies is”. “This is not a theoretical matter; we know exactly what the consequence is; 50,000 unauthorised arrivals, 800 boats, tragically 1200 deaths at sea,’’ he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“So we have one of the most generous humanitarian programs: over 13,000 coming in through the humanitarian channel at the ­moment, rising every year substan­tially. It’s substantially ­increased up to 18,000, plus 12,000 from the Syrian conflict zone. So we have a very strong ­record.’’Commentary P12</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This month marks three years since the Coalition government came to power promising to regain control of, and restore integrity to, our nation’s borders.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yesterday marked the third anniversary of the implementation of Operation Sovereign Borders to stop the boats.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Critics said it couldn’t be done. That we would not be able to end the uncontrolled flow of people-smugglers’ boats and the tens of thousands of illegal arrivals they carried to Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There is no doubt the task was herculean. The mistakes and misjudgments of the preceding half decade of Labor rule had unleashed a tsunami of 50,000, often undocumented people, which strained border agencies’ ability to cope. Three years on, we are able to assert, that once again, Australia controls its borders.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The boats have been stopped, lives of desperate and vulnerable people aren’t being lost on a perilous sea journey, detention centres are closed and those necessary facilities that remain will soon be empty of all but those who pose a threat to our society.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This month also marks one year from our announcement that we would resettle — over and above the 13,750 places in our annual <b>refugee</b> and humanitarian intake — 12,000 Syrian and Iraqi refugees displaced by conflicts in the Middle East.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The two events are entwined.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">An act of compassion such as the Syrian intake would not be possible without the strong hand of Operation Sovereign Borders.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Large-scale migration and resettlement requires a social compact. Citizens must be confident that it is instituted in an orderly and controlled manner and that it is carried out for the betterment of all.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That confidence enabled Australia to resettle almost a million displaced people over decades since the horrors of World War II.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But in the turbulent period of 2008 to 2013, that confidence frayed. Australians were concerned by their government’s inability to counter the people-smugglers and halt an unabated flow of hundreds of boats and thousands of people.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Coalition’s commitment to stop the boats and ensure that no one who came by <b>boat</b> would ever settle in Australia was a tough message, but it was also fair.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It meant that rather than someone with the money to pay a people-smuggler self-selecting as a <b>refugee</b> or <b>asylum</b>-seeker and demanding Australia’s protection, Australia would again determine those who would be given the chance of a new life here.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It meant that again Australia could reach out to the displaced people in the <b>refugee</b> camps and countries neighbouring conflict zones: the most vulnerable, the persecuted, the traumatised, those unlikely ever to be able to return to their homes, those with little hope.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A direct dividend of these policies has been increased public support for our orderly migration and humanitarian programs. Renewed integrity in the system has enabled the government to deliver the largest offshore humanitarian intake of the past 30 years.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In 2015-16, the commonwealth issued 17,554 humanitarian program visas. Of these, 8284 were offshore refugees with offshore visas and 7268 were offshore special humanitarian program visas.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The latest <span class="companylink">UNHCR</span> figures show Britain resettled 1768 refugees and France resettled 700 refugees last year.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This fair and equitable approach has resulted in 15,550 visas for people who were waiting, barely surviving, in the camps and communities overseas. It means 8500 visas for people displaced by the conflicts in Syria and Iraq.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A year on from our commitment to resettle 12,000 refugees, more than half that number have visas; more than 3000 have started their new life in Australia; and hundreds more are arriving each month.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australia offers not just refuge, we guide and support people into a new life: a safe, healthy and hopefully happy future. We do all we can to help them overcome the traumas and tragedies they have experienced in the past.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Only about 30 countries, a mere handful, offer such a planned program for permanent resettlement.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australia has long been recognised as one of the leading countries in the world for resettlement of refugees. For the most part, with the US and Canada, we have been at the top.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is a fine record, one of which we can be proud.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The commitment to 12,000 Syrian refugees combined with financial support to the <span class="companylink">UNHCR</span> and other agencies shows Australia is again responding to this latest humanitarian crisis.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There is no doubt the world is confronting a challenge of proportions unseen since World War II, with an estimated 65 million displaced people across the globe.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The uncontrolled movement of huge numbers of people across borders in Europe and the large numbers of deaths in the Mediterranean is a replay, albeit on a far larger scale, of the crisis Australia was forced to deal with just a few short years ago.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Today I will accompany the Prime Minister to the first of two summits in New York convened by the <span class="companylink">UN</span> and Barack Obama, which seek a more co-ordinated response to this mass movement.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">These are important meetings because the international system of protection — the 1951 <b>Refugee</b> Convention, whose central aim is to provide protection to those who are persecuted — is being exploited by opportunist individuals and criminal syndicates trafficking in people.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yes, there are thousands and thousands of genuine refugees, but it is also true that among the hordes sweeping across borders and countries there are large numbers who are simply economic migrants. Or worse, there are those with malevolent intent.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Finding a resolution to this crisis may be near impossible, certainly there is little appetite or prospect of reform to <b>refugee</b> conventions, but an immediate answer in part is for more nations to step up and share the burden of resettling refugees and screening out those who have no genuine claim to protection.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This is why the co-operation of Papua New Guinea, Nauru and Cambodia should be praised, not condemned.Peter Dutton is the federal Minister for Immigration.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">An Afghan <b>refugee</b> sent to Nauru by the Australian government remains on the Pacific island nearly three weeks after a doctor advised he needed to be urgently evacuated to treat a potentially fatal heart condition.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The 42-year-old man, known by the pseudonym Abdullah, was taken to the Nauru Hospital on August 29 after suffering severe pain in his chest and numbness in his left arm.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Abdullah said the pain had him writhing "like a snake" on his bed in his home, a converted shipping container, before he was taken to hospital by ambulance.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He was told he needed to be flown to Australia or Papua New Guinea for treatment, but discharged himself because there was no one else to care for his sons, aged 12 and 13.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One of his sons has mental health problems and a history of self-harm. The children's mother died before Abdullah and his children travelled to Christmas Island and were transferred to Nauru in 2013.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Abdullah said he also chose to leave the hospital because he found the conditions intolerable. He slept in a corridor because of an overwhelming smell in a room he was sharing with another man.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After initially being told he would have to leave his children on Nauru if he was flown for treatment, he was later assured they could travel with him. That was about two weeks ago. He last saw a doctor two days ago. "I am still waiting," he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australian-based cardiologist Clare Arnott, for Doctors for Refugees, said Abdullah's medical records suggested it was likely he had suffered a heart attack and his life would be in danger if not properly treated.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"The risks of inadequate treatment in this case are great - from irreversible myocardial damage to repeat infarction, life-threatening arrhythmia and death," Dr Arnott said. "I would certainly recommend urgent transfer to a facility that can provide specialist cardiology care, echocardiography and coronary angiography with intervention."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Abdullah said that he was encouraged by officials based in Nauru to write a will leaving his children in the care of the Nauruan government in the event of his death, but refused. The will he signed said he wanted his children to be raised in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Australian government has said no refugees who arrived in Australia by <b>boat</b> will be allowed to settle in the country. Refugees transferred to Australia for medical treatment are returned to Nauru once they have recovered.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A spokesman for Immigration Minister Peter Dutton referred questions to the Immigration and Border Protection Department. A department spokesman said it could not provide specific details on the medical treatment of individuals.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The spokesman said Australia provided significant support to Nauru to provide welfare and health services for refugees, and that people requiring treatment not available on Nauru may be transferred to Papua New Guinea to get the care they needed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Where appropriate medical services are not available in a regional processing country, transfer to Australia may be considered," he said.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Former prime minister Tony Abbott has told a group of European conservatives that the migrant crisis afflicting the continent has the "look of a peaceful invasion" as he urged European leaders to adopt Australia's strict turn-back policy.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In an address to the Alliance of European Conservatives and Reformists in Prague on Saturday night, Mr Abbott said it was "more important than ever to be brave" and a post-Brexit Britain and Europe needed to consider immigration changes.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Abbott said a country that could not control who entered its territory "will eventually lose control of its future". "That need not end free movement - but it would end uncontrolled movement - and why shouldn't each country keep the final say over who can enter," Mr Abbott said in the speech, which he posted to his website on Sunday.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"As my country's former leader John Howard famously put it, 'we shall determine who comes to our country and the circumstances under which they come'.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"… In my judgment, it was the prospect of millions of new Europeans from the Middle East and Africa streaming into Britain that pushed the Brexit vote over the line. Britons aren't against Europe or against immigration, but they voted against losing control.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Uncontrolled immigration didn't cause Brexit, but it did prompt Britons to take back their sovereignty."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Abbott's comments came just days before world leaders gather for a <span class="companylink">UN</span> conference where Australia's turn-back policy will be discussed. He told the group, which has emerged as a powerful voting bloc within the <span class="companylink">EU</span>, that while it was a "decent and humane impulse" to give people from "wretched places" a better life, those who went past their first port of safety were not "<b>asylum</b> seekers but would-be economic migrants".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"… A million people coming by <b>boat</b> and almost a million people coming by land last year has the look of a peaceful invasion," he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"So long as people think that arriving in Europe means staying in Europe, they will keep coming," he said. "Sending them to more European countries won't solve the problem; it will just spread it around. People in no immediate danger have to be turned back at Europe's borders.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"People intercepted in the Mediterranean have to be returned to their starting point.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"This crisis can't be managed, it has to be resolved. That's what Australia did, under my government; we stopped illegal boats at sea and escorted them back to Indonesian waters.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"The truly compassionate thing to do is stop the boats and stop the deaths, and for more than two years now, there have been no illegal arrivals by <b>boat</b> in Australia and the drownings have stopped."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">US President Barack Obama will host the leaders' summit which aims to find ways to expand resettlement programs.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While the focus has been on those detained on Manus Island and Nauru - here, on Australian soil - fearful <b>asylum</b> seekers are kept with hardened criminals, writes Michael Gordon.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph"> Amir never had a birth certificate, or a passport, or anything else that provided proof of who he was until he was released from immigration detention and passed the test for a probationary driver's licence.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"He'd never had a document in his life, so it was a very big moment," says Pamela Curr, an advocate who has been visiting <b>asylum</b> seekers in detention centres since their numbers began to spiral back in 1999.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Soon after receiving the licence, Amir (not his real name) made a mistake. He was caught running a red light, 10 kilometres per hour above the speed limit, without the licence in his pocket. As well as losing the licence, he was fined $1200 he did not have.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Had he been an Australian resident, this would have been the end of it. He would have been given time to pay the fine and a salutary lesson. But Amir, an Iranian house painter who arrived on a <b>boat</b> in 2010, quickly found himself back in detention.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">First he was held in Melbourne, then in Darwin and, for the past 11 months, he has been on Christmas Island, having fallen foul of a character test that is applied at the discretion of Immigration Minister Peter Dutton. Slated for closure at the end of next year, Christmas Island hosts Australia's forgotten detention centre, a huge grey maze of concrete and steel, security doors and cameras, ringed by an imposing new wire fence since a mentally disturbed <b>refugee</b>, Fazel Chegeni, escaped and died last November. The island is 2600 kilometres northwest of Perth.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Fewer than 30 <b>asylum</b> seekers are held there, but they are sprinkled among a detainee population of about 200 that includes those Dutton has accurately dubbed "some of the country's most hardened criminals".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While debate about Australia's border protection regime has focused on the plight of those in limbo on Manus Island and Nauru, the situation of many of those on Christmas Island is more troubling in two respects: the <b>asylum</b> seekers are terrified of their fellow detainees and this is happening on Australian soil.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So says Curr, who travelled the 5000 kilometres to Christmas Island last month with Sister Brigid Arthur, who has run the Brigidine <b>Asylum</b> Seekers Project in Melbourne since 2001. "What we witnessed was a group of men utterly without hope, almost all of them broken human beings," she says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The difference between those on Christmas Island and those on Manus and Nauru is that they reside in a high-security prison where three or four <b>asylum</b> seekers are placed in 50-person compounds with criminals who, they say, boast about the crimes they committed on the mainland, including armed robbery and rape.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Some were shaking and clearly unwell, others were cowed and scared," says Curr. "But they all had the same request: 'Please get me out of here!"'</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Next week the Prime Minister will attend the United Nations general assembly's <b>refugee</b> summit in New York, which has been billed as "a historic opportunity" to come up with a blueprint for a better international response to the world's biggest <b>refugee</b> crisis since World War II.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The next day, Malcolm Turnbull will attend US President Barack Obama's leaders' meeting on refugees, when heads of government are expected to announce their plans to increase their <b>refugee</b> intakes, commit more funding to international agencies and increase the self-reliance of refugees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Just what Australia will offer is still to be revealed, but Turnbull's message will be emphatic: that strong border protection policies are essential if countries are to increase their humanitarian intakes and maintain public support for their programs.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I'm not going to foreshadow what we'll be saying there, but I think the Australian experience is one that a lot of other countries are very interested in," the Prime Minister told <span class="companylink">Fairfax Media</span> this week.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Problem is, there is a dark side to that experience and two key United Nations agencies, the <span class="companylink">United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees</span> and Human Rights Council, have regularly drawn attention to it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was highlighted this week in two substantial reports urging the government to move from a policy with a singular focus on deterring <b>boat</b> arrivals. One, produced by <span class="companylink">Save the Children</span> and <span class="companylink">UNICEF</span>, revealed the cost of the policy had been $9.6 billion since 2013 - a figure higher than the <span class="companylink">UNHCR</span>'s total global budget for programs this year.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The UNHCR's regional representative, Thomas Albrecht, recently told a visiting delegation of Danish MPs that after 30 years of working with refugees he expected nothing could shock him, yet on Nauru he saw greater hopelessness than anywhere else.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The message from Curr and Sister Brigid after their Christmas Island visit is that the existence of the <b>asylum</b> seekers there is similarly defined by loneliness, despair and fear - and a denial of basic human rights.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Why did they go there? "We knew that people were being ferreted out there, that it's a secret place where you can't make contact with people easily," Curr says. "We were concerned about what was being done to these people."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The $7000 cost of the trip was split between the <b>Asylum</b> Seekers Resource Centre, where Curr is the detention advocate, and the Brigidine Congregation, a Catholic order focusing on education that Sister Brigid, 81, joined more than half a century ago.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They were given permission to visit 14 men, some known to them from their detention experience in Melbourne, and others who asked to see them when they became aware of the visit. By the end of their eight-day stay, they had interviewed 25.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"It was like a fruit salad of the detention population," recalls Curr. "Some who came by plane; most by <b>boat</b>; some who have had their <b>refugee</b> claims rejected, but can't be returned to their country; some midway through having their claims assessed; at least two who are stateless."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Each morning they would arrive at the centre, pass through a security system that involved seven sets of doors, and interview the <b>asylum</b> seekers who were escorted individually to the reception area in one-hour blocks. They could not record interviews or take in their own notebook and had to rely on single sheets of paper to take notes. "Each afternoon, we drove home shattered," says Curr, 67. "It's hard to stare into the face of misery and be so powerless to do anything about it."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One <b>asylum</b> seeker told them he had not had a visitor in two years. Another said he was too frightened to leave his room. One who left the biggest impression carried the scars of torture and presented as "a totally beaten, helpless human being".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">What emerged was a snapshot of a Kafkaesque world where rules change frequently and govern every aspect of life; transgressions are dealt with harshly; and the <b>asylum</b> seekers live in fear of those detainees who are hardened criminals and of some of the guards, who work 12-hour shifts, six days a week that would test the patience of any human being.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Most of them described constant fear of being attacked by the '501s' [Australian residents without citizenship whose visas are cancelled by the minister after being charged or convicted of serious offences or linked to outlaw motorcycle gangs]," says Curr.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"They said the 501s call them 'boaties' and blamed them for their transfer to Christmas Island because the detention centre was originally built only for <b>asylum</b> seekers."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Like the 501s, the guards are a mixed bag. "Some <span class="companylink">Serco</span> officers will give you a hug if they are in a good mood," one of the <b>asylum</b> seekers reported. "And if they are in a bad mood ... Oh my God!"</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Dutton said this week that he had cancelled more visas on character grounds than any previous minister, including 24 for murder and 63 for rape - "and the community is a safer place as a result".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But Curr and Sister Brigid said the detainees they interviewed had been charged with minor offences or had not been charged with any offence at all and had no inkling why they were forcibly transferred to the island.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Human rights lawyer David Manne tells the story of an Iraqi who worked as an interpreter for Australian soldiers after the US-led invasion.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"He was in Sydney when he was charged with using offensive language, resisting arrest and driving without a licence. The two serious charges were dropped and no conviction was recorded on the driving offence, but his bridging visa was cancelled and he was sent to Christmas Island.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Here was someone who had suffered trauma and torture and had a strong claim for <b>refugee</b> protection, but he gave up and went back to danger before being able to receive legal assistance."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Sarah Dale, senior solicitor at the Sydney-based <b>Refugee</b> Advice and Casework Service who has been to Christmas Island several times, says one of the biggest hurdles for lawyers is being unable to call their clients directly and to have to make appointments and share documentation with the security provider and the immigration department.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"That denies clients confidentiality, which is a fundamental legal right."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Being in detention also means many of those who have been charged with offences, some serious, some minor, either miss court hearings or appear by video link, denying them the opportunity to fully engage with the process.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"We are aware of many people whose cases were dismissed and they were still detained for many, many months or even years," says Dale.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Manne goes further. "The real risk is serious miscarriages of justice, which result in people being left in legal limbo and indefinite incarceration. None of us is safe when fundamental liberties are denied."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Then there is the sheer remoteness of the island and cost of getting there, which means detainees are separated from family, friends and others capable of providing support. A report from the Commonwealth Ombudsman late last year highlighted the case of a man with a history of trauma and torture who had spent more than 900 days in detention.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A visiting psychologist had reported eight months earlier that the man was suffering chronic post-traumatic stress disorder and major depression to the extent that he had lost all hope and had suicidal thoughts.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Reminding the government of its duty of care to immigration detainees and the serious risk to mental and physical health posed by prolonged and indefinite detention, the ombudsman recommended the man be transferred to the mainland and released from detention or transferred to a facility near his family. At the time of going to press <span class="companylink">Fairfax Media</span> is still waiting for an update on the man's fate.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Curr and Sister Brigid says they were able to identify several men who had fallen through the cracks and needed legal representation, including Amir. But they left the island feeling ashamed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"We leave with a feeling almost of being new accomplices in a horrendous misappropriation of justice," Sister Brigid wrote. "We are also deserting these men."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Amir, meanwhile, has his own way of measuring his time in Australia's detention network. "Five prime minister come and go," he told his visitors. "Amir is still here."</p>

Peter Dutton intends to present Australia’s “good story” on refugees to the <span class="companylink">UN</span> <b>refugee</b> summit next week, saying that story is built on strong border protection.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After being at loggerheads with the <span class="companylink">UN</span> over the years, the Immigration Minister has been invited to attend the <b>refugee</b>, immigration and border security conference in New York on Monday. He told The Weekend Australian there’s “a story we can tell”.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Over the years, <span class="companylink">UN</span> committees and inquiries have criticised Australia’s border protection ­regime, including mandatory ­detention, processing refugees at sea and establishing offshore ­detention centres in Nauru and PNG. Mr Dutton has also been criticised for the “indefinite detention” of <b>asylum</b>-seekers on Manus ­Island and for being too slow in identifying refugees from Syria.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Australia has long been recognised as one of a handful of countries (with) the best resettlement arrangements in the world, and that word ‘resettlement’ is important,” Mr Dutton said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We don’t just provide a refuge, we guide people into a new life; a safe, healthy and hopefully happy life. We do all we can to help them overcome the traumas and tragedies they have experienced. Very few countries can say that.” Mr Dutton is accompanying Malcolm Turnbull to the <span class="companylink">UN</span> <b>refugee</b> conference, which lasts all day on Monday, and the Prime Minister will be joining US President Barack Obama for a leaders’ session on refugees and security.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The <span class="companylink">UN</span> <b>refugee</b> conference will be attended by representatives of countries that have been inundated by refugees from neighbouring trouble spots, as well as “destination countries”, such as Germany, which attract hundreds of thousands of <b>asylum</b>-seekers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Dutton intends to argue that Australia’s tough border ­regime provides the opportunity to take more refugees and ­re­assures the population that the ­nation’s social fabric is not at risk.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The success of Operation Sovereign Borders in stopping the <b>boat</b> arrivals has allowed us to ­restore our offshore humanitarian programs and restore integrity in them … we can reach out to those in the <b>refugee</b> camps and protracted situations around the world and offer the most vulnerable a new life,” he said. “Our humanitarian programs for many years have helped tens of thousands.”He said immigration figures show that with the extra Syrian/Iraqi intake from late last year, the 2015-16 humanitarian program was the largest offshore program in more than 30 years, with 15,552 visas issued.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Days after meeting Australian ministers, British Foreign Minister Boris Johnson says a <span class="companylink">European Union</span> naval force deployed in the Mediterranean should turn back migrant boats after they leave Libya and prevent them from reaching Italy. Italy is on the frontline of Europe's migrant crisis, taking in more than 400,000 refugees over the past three years, many of them saved from rickety boats pushed out to sea by people smugglers based in north Africa. The <span class="companylink">European Union</span> launched Operation Sophia in 2015 in response to the crisis, with a mandate to disrupt the people trafficking networks and destroy smugglers' boats. Johnson said part of the mission's work was to return boats back to shore</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">after they had put to sea. "I think personally [the boats] should be turned back as close to the shore as possible so they don't reach the Italian mainland and that there is more of a deterrent," Johnson said on Thursday, speaking alongside his Italian counterpart Paolo Gentiloni. "I think I am right in saying we have turned back about 200,000 migrants," Johnson said, before a nearby diplomat hastily corrected him. "Sorry, saved, saved. Thank you. We have saved 200,000 migrants and turned back 240 boats." It is illegal to turn back migrant boats once they reach international waters and a <span class="companylink">UN</span>-backed government in Libya has not invited European ships into its territorial waters, saying this would undermine its own state- building efforts.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was not immediately clear in what context the boats mentioned by Johnson were turned back to land. There was no immediate comment from Operation Sophia officials in Rome. He was in Italy for talks about Britain's decision to abandon the <span class="companylink">European Union</span>. Johnson met Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop last week to discuss several topics, including a possible free trade agreement between the two countries post-Brexit. At the time, he said there was an "almost glutinous" harmony between the UK and Australia. The Australian government's policy of turning back <b>asylum</b> seeker boats is considered a key component of the recent reduction in the number of <b>boat</b> arrivals.

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The costs of detaining <b>asylum</b> seekers are more than financial.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Causing suffering to complement and reinforce the 'turnback' strategy was always morally questionable, but it is now unnecessary.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">W hat if our government really wanted to save money? As well as going after $6.7 billion in its omnibus savings bill, it could go after the billions more it costs to run our immigration detention centres: $9.2billion in the past three years, $3.9billion to $5.5 billion in the next four, according to the most complete accounting yet of the costs normally hidden in inaccessible parts of the the budget. An Audit Office report identifies the cost per offshore detainee at a gobsmacking $573,100 per year. For that price - $1570 a day - we could put them up in a Hyatt and pay them the pension 15 times over. It costs less than half that, $200,000 a year, to house a typical onshore prisoner; a mere fraction of that, $72,000 including super, to pay a typical full- time worker, and just $20,700 a year to pay a full pensioner. Ninety-nine per cent of the population don't come anywhere near $573,100 a year in income or cost. The census stops asking when income sails past $156,000. But the comparison with wages isn't strictly valid. It understates the outrageousness of the $573,100 price tag. The $573,100 isn't being paid in return for a detainee's labour, in return for a contribution to society, as are wages. It is being paid to prevent the detainee contributing to society. It is what economists call a deadweight loss. We get nothing in return for it, apart from less of what we could have had.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And perhaps because it is not meant to make economic sense (and perhaps because the Department of Immigration and Border Protection has operated as something of a law unto itself), it hasn't even made financial sense. The Audit Office says the department breached public service guidelines by not conducting proper tenders for the contracts to provide services to Manus Island and Nauru, at times falsely claiming it faced urgent and unforeseen circumstances. "The available record does not indicate that urgent or unforeseen circumstances existed," the Audit Office says. "The record suggests that the department first selected the provider and then commenced a process to determine the exact nature, scope and price of the services to be delivered." The department's approach to selecting one provider to service both centres from 2014 "removed competition from the outset". There is no record of staff completing conflict-of- interest declarations, no record of the checks that would have discovered that a director of one of the subcontractors had faced bribery charges and was later acquitted. After being selected without a proper tender, the new provider extracted an extra $1.1 billion from Australian taxpayers, which was agreed to without going back to the contractors who had just been sacked. The price per detainee shot up from $201,000 to $573,100. Astonishingly, the report says the department didn't tell its minister at the time, Scott Morrison, that the deal required the Commonwealth to pay a "significant premium over and above the historical costs". Nor did it tell him the price per head. The department was not only shielded from public accountability, it also managed to hide things from its <span class="companylink">minister.UNICEF</span> and <span class="companylink">Save the Children</span> get the $9.2 billion figure in their report At What Cost? from the numbers scattered around various parts of the official record. They say there are less specific other costs they haven't included, among them regular independent and senate inquiries, the defence of High Court challenges, and compensation for detention centre employees who have suffered as a result of what they have been exposed to. Intriguingly, the cost of <b>boat</b> turnbacks, the part of the government's policy that has probably been the most effective in deterring <b>asylum</b> seekers, is tiny by comparison: just $295 million over three years, compared with $9.2billion for continuing to hold <b>asylum</b> seekers in detention. And there's a whole other set of costs, which At What Cost wrongly labels non-economic, hidden from the public by gag clauses: self-harm, suicide attempts and mental deterioration, especially among children. Economists would say they destroy human capital. Adam Smith, the father of modern economics, titled his magnum opus An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations because he had discovered that that's what gave nations wealth - not gold or notes or coins, but human beings who could provide goods and services. Deliberately or carelessly deprecating human capital is perhaps the worst crime against humanity. The Commonwealth Treasury thinks so. Chief among the goals in its wellbeing framework is giving people "substantive freedom to lead a life they have reason to value". It has fallen to Malcolm Turnbull to end a system that has passed its use-by date. Even criminals aren't locked up indefinitely on the pretence that their cases are being "processed". The decision of Papua New Guinea to close the Manus Island detention centre makes a decision more urgent. On Friday he meets the president of the Human Rights Commission, Gillian Triggs, to discuss the way forward. She says we should move from deterrence to prevention. It would cost so much less.

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Immigration Department failed to rein in spending on Australia's overseas immigration detention centres, which cost taxpayers more than half a million dollars for each <b>asylum</b> seeker, an audit has found. Auditor-General Grant Hehir's searing report also shows officials could not explain how they selected the businesses that received more than $3 billion to build and run the centres in Nauru and Papua New Guinea's Manus Island. The report, tabled in Parliament on Tuesday, examines how the department managed the contracts for security, cleaning, catering, health and wellbeing services for the centres. It said the department fell "well short of effective procurement practice", and identified "serious and persistent deficiencies" in its efforts to build the centres in 2012 and then reduce costs over the next four years. Among other findings, Mr Hehir's team noted "significant skill and capability gaps" among staff "at all levels in the department", and "persistent shortcomings in the planning and conduct of the procurements, including in relation to record-keeping, consistency and fairness in the treatment of suppliers, and the assessment of value for money". The department also failed to show it had checked if the public servants involved in choosing which companies won the lucrative contracts had any conflicts of interest. Nor could it demonstrate why its contractors - including Transfield, the <span class="companylink">Salvation Army</span> and <span class="companylink">Save the Children</span> -</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">provided value for money. The department accepted all 22 recommendations and admitted decision-making processes were not appropriately documented. In a 700-word statement issued on Tuesday, the department defended its record saying it worked in an urgent environment at a time when thousands of <b>asylum</b> seekers were arriving "illegally by <b>boat</b>". "Australia's immigration detention network had been rapidly expanding and was under considerable strain: almost 7000 people were in immigration detention in Australia, of whom about 95 per cent were <b>boat</b> arrivals," the statement said. "The department met the requirement of the government of the day in an environment that was high-tempo and complicated by logistics and procurement activities in foreign countries. Delegates were required to make decisions on complex matters within very short time frames. It remains the department's position that decisions taken in this period were reasonable under the circumstances."The audit said the department's approach to contracting had defied a directive to reduce costs, saying it had "reduced competitive pressure and significantly increased the price of the services without government authority to do so". In contrast, the department said its records show that average spending per detainee fell from $698,000 in 2012-13 to $529,000 a person last financial year. However, it acknowledged that "its decision-making processes in this complex and rapidly evolving environment were not adequately documented".</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It asserts the policy inflicts incalculable harm on <b>asylum</b> seekers, especially children; strains bilateral relationships; and damages Australia's bid for a seat on the United Nation's Human Rights Council.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It calls on the Turnbull government to commit to a timeline for resettling those on Nauru and Manus Island, legislate against the detention of children and revoke the ban on resettling refugees who arrived in Indonesia after July 1, 2014.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Pressing the case for a regional protection framework, it also recommends an increase in Australia's <b>refugee</b> intake and the phasing out of turning back boats to Indonesia, which is says exposes <b>asylum</b> seekers to danger at sea and further harm.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">With a report to be launched by the <span class="companylink">Human Rights Commission</span> on Wednesday, the study increases the pressure on Malcolm Turnbull to end the ordeal of those in limbo. In New York next week he will attend a summit called by President Barack Obama on refugees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"The Prime Minister should use this moment to redirect Australia's approach to refugees and <b>asylum</b> seekers and embrace greater regional co-operation and provide protection for some of the world's most vulnerable children," says <span class="companylink">Save the Children</span> Australia chief executive Paul Ronalds.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Immigration Minister Peter Dutton has ruled out any softening of Australia's policy, telling Parliament on Monday: "We will not deviate because the people smugglers are still there in Indonesia, and in Sri Lanka and Vietnam and elsewhere trying to put syndicates together to put people on to boats."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Called At What Cost?, the 80-page report represents the most comprehensive attempt to reveal the cost of Australia's hardline policy on <b>boat</b> arrivals, drawing on publicly available data on the costs of maintaining offshore and onshore detention centres, <b>boat</b> turnbacks and the failed Cambodian resettlement agreement.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Report authors Lisa Button and Shane Evans concede the lack of transparency in reporting and aggregated budget allocations make it difficult to accurately cost Australia's <b>asylum</b> seeker framework, but assert the "true economic cost" is likely to be much greater than the $9.6 billion.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They says their estimate excludes the costs of inquiries by the Parliament and the <span class="companylink">Human Rights Commission</span> into Australia's detention system, of defending numerous legal challenges in the courts and of paying compensation to those who have suffered damage.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"The Turnbull government has endlessly trumpeted its immigration policies, but at the same time sought to hide their true costs through secrecy laws which criminalise whistleblowers who disclose human rights violations, protocols of operational secrecy and a refusal to establish adequate independent monitoring mechanisms," says Mr Ronalds.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The report concludes that, if Australia's approach was adopted on a global scale, it "would certainly mean the end of the notion of <b>refugee</b> protection". It concludes: "Our policies attempt to coerce those fleeing persecution to stay where they are, to wait indefinitely and to endure countless dangers, indignities and lives lived in limbo."</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I recently read an article about the news that people follow on social media - mostly gossip about celebrities. I understand why many close their eyes. I, too, am overwhelmed by sadness about the world I live in, and its cruelty. I look on, feeling helpless, but I know I'm not alone. A friend has been teaching Italian as a volunteer to irregular migrants in Pisa. Some of the students sleep rough. One, a Bangladeshi man, asked for help to see a doctor because of his stomach pains. Turns out he has terminal liver cancer and has been given nine months to live, if he remains in Italy with first world medical care. He has a family and children whom he hasn't seen for a few years and could not afford to fly home to see them. So the teachers all pitched in to buy a ticket.</p>

My father left his young family behind in China in 1953 to come to Australia; they were starving back at home. We were the lucky ones, reunited 25 years later. Such stories hit me hard because they are so close to the bone. So I talk to my boys and tell them about the world, and hope they will grow up compassionate and resourceful, and maybe they will be able to change the way we treat others who are less fortunate.

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">With the focus on the brutality of Manus Island and Nauru, <b>asylum</b> seekers in Melbourne are forgotten. Some 200 detainees are in the Broadmeadows detention centre. One young man has been locked up for more than seven years. He has committed no crime. Another has not seen his young children or wife for four years and his heart breaks a little more each day. The men are separated from the families by locked gates and have a small outside area in which to exercise. There is access to a volleyball court for one hour a day on weekdays only. There are five computers among 50 men. Visitors are restricted to one person, to be booked one day in advance, but permission is not always granted. Conditions get ever harsher each week. The detainees are deeply depressed with a feeling of total hopelessness. After each weekly visit I leave with an enduring feeling of shame for our country and a deep sadness for those locked away. Please don't forget about these people in our despair over Manus and Nauru. Helen Stagoll, Alphington</p>

At each house we were greeted like long-lost friends and offered tea and treats. Our hosts were Rohingya Muslims, Iranian Christians and Afghan Hazaras, and all had similar tales of terror and escape. Children spoke of family and homes left behind, jail in Indonesia, frightening <b>boat</b> trips and months locked up on Christmas Island and in mainland detention.

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Launching the project on Monday is Kobra Moradi, who will bring a unique experience to her task: the 20-year-old Afghan-born woman came to Australia in 2005, sponsored by her father, who came as a <b>refugee</b> in 2000.

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The impulse to relieve suffering is a basic human instinct. As Australians, when we encounter a lost child or someone in pain at the scene of an accident, our natural response is compassionate and we offer help. This instinct inspires the values of many religions and society itself.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Recently it has been expressed in public and governmental responses to a range of social evils, notably child abuse, domestic violence, mental illness and suicide. Governments have acted in a decisive and bipartisan way to tackle these scourges.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The opposite has been the case in relation to the plight of <b>asylum</b> seekers who have arrived by <b>boat</b> and the unremitting suffering of refugees currently trapped in PNG and Nauru. Our natural instincts have been blocked with disastrous effects on the mental health of thousands of human beings and on our national psyche and reputation.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A recent open letter from Robert Manne, Frank Brennan, Tim Costello and John Menadue proposed a pragmatic way forward, drawing on the record of the Howard government resettling refugees in Australia from offshore detention without a surge of new boats. This month, Paris Aristotle, CEO of <b>refugee</b> group Foundation House, appealed in a statement for urgent change to current policy, which he said was causing rising harm. This is significant. He always chooses his words carefully when discussing these complex issues. We should listen.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As a psychiatrist I have cared for many <b>asylum</b> seekers and former detainees. All are refugees and many survived war, persecution and torture. They are resilient people and with the right conditions most will recover and prosper. Under the wrong conditions they cannot, and may not even survive.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Extensive research and clinical experience shows that incarceration for long periods, and without a sense of any hope of a safe future, is a recipe for despair, serious mental illness and suicide. Suicide is always the end result of a complex cocktail of social entrapment, unbearable emotional pain, anger and despair. The <b>asylum</b> seekers on Manus and Nauru are drinking this cocktail every day. The mental states and behavioural responses we read about are inevitable and beyond their control, or that of any system that can be put in place to care for them.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I can share the recent example of a young schoolgirl I have treated at headspace who spent two years in detention and is now struggling to engage at high school on a bridging visa in Melbourne. Her father was tortured in a war-torn Middle Eastern country and they arrived by <b>boat</b> in early 2013. In detention she became seriously ill with depression and psychosis, and became suicidal. Treatment of these conditions in detention was completely ineffective, but now she is beginning to respond. But she has been severely harmed by a long period of unremitting illness and full recovery will be elusive.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Psychological counselling during indefinite detention or where hope is extinguished, such as in Nauru and PNG, is like tackling a bushfire with a water pistol. This means that routine treatment in detention centres comprises widespread use of powerful psychotropic drugs, notably antidepressant, sedative and antipsychotic medications. They are often used well beyond usual therapeutic boundaries to ease mental pain, and would be unnecessary if the patients were not in indefinite detention. This is hugely conflicting ethically for health professionals, whose first rule is "to do no harm", and helps explain why doctors are so opposed to indefinite detention.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I have not commented publicly on these matters for some time, discouraged by the fact that neither appeals from more eloquent commentators, nor hard facts, nor even the huge expense and collateral damage to Australia has failed to break the deadlock. Now that the "turn-back" strategy has prevented any successful arrivals, the equation has clearly changed. There is simply no need to employ further deterrents.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Causing suffering to complement and reinforce the turn-back strategy was always morally questionable, but it is now unnecessary.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The time has come, before it is too late, to resettle all genuine refugees. I agree with the Foundation House statement, which urges the Coalition and Labor to facilitate "resettlement in countries including Australia which offer the opportunity for refugees to become integral members of society, to live in security and participate in the economic, social and cultural life of their new homes".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Like Paris Aristotle, I have worked closely with both sides of politics and have got to know and develop great respect for our political leaders and representatives of all persuasions. We won't solve this problem by pointing fingers or wrestling for the moral high ground. This has been a chronic national crisis beyond any individual or group to solve on their own. It needs moral courage, pragmatism and a revival of Australia's natural instincts and core values.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">My request to all MPs, is to take this issue out of the political realm, and break the nexus between indefinite detention and deterrence. If you can, you will free yourselves and all of us from the virtual jail that has been built around us. It is critical not just for refugees, but for your own legacies and the people of Australia.</p>

</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That is why today's coverage by The Age of some of the thousands of human stories behind the statistics and political dissembling is important. It is hard to read these accounts and not feel sad and angry, but we would urge as many people as possible to take the time, and try to put themselves in the shoes of these victims of cruel circumstances and policies. The coverage not only contains written accounts, but video footage. Images can be even more compelling than words, and although it is painful to watch, we believe every Australian should see it. We also urge everyone to watch a recent documentary, Seeking <b>Asylum</b>. It was bravely and secretly shot in the detention camps, in defiance of another of the government's appalling tactics to conceal the truth - the Australian Border Force Act 2015, which forbids, under threat of jail, anyone working in the centres from revealing to anyone anything they come across in their work.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Today's coverage includes the wrenching story of the Ahmed family, who fled Myanmar amid the exodus of Rohingya, people the United Nations declares are one of the most persecuted minorities on the planet. The father, Nayser, has been suffering on Manus Island for three years, while his family managed to make it to Australia, where they are on bridging visas. They remain separated because of the expedient and appalling decision of then prime minister Kevin Rudd to banish people seeking <b>asylum</b> who arrive by <b>boat</b>, a perfectly legal act, to offshore detention with - under a policy maintained by the Coalition - no prospect of ever coming to Australia. This is despite the fact that as many as nine in 10 of the relatively small number of those who arrive by <b>boat</b> are found to be genuine refugees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Should you have any doubt about the immorality and cruelty of the policy, watch the video. This family's distress might shift your view. It is an unsustainable policy and must be abandoned. Papua New Guinea's highest court months ago declared the Manus Island centre unconstitutional. This provides our government an opportunity to shut both centres without losing face. It was never intended that people be detained there for extended periods, let alone three years - the camps were supposed to be transit places in which people's claims for <b>refugee</b> status were processed. These people, most of whom have been found to be genuine refugees, were then supposed to be resettled in Australia or other appropriate recipient nations.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Age has repeatedly recognised the <b>refugee</b> issue is difficult and complex, and that were there a ready solution to the issues created by the biggest number of displaced people - 60 million - since the Second World War, it would have been implemented long ago. Australia should lead on establishing orderly regional processing. Preventing people from perishing at sea is a noble aim, but the human and economic cost of the current policy is unjustifiable.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Today's coverage should leave no one in any doubt of that.</p>

As well as being a sports star, atop her favourite horse Diesel, Billie (pictured below) was a writer. Her parents, to whom I can only extend my deepest sympathy, have collected Billie’s poems, stories and drawings in a lovely book called Hope. It can be purchased at www.flyhighbillie.com[http://www.flyhighbillie.com] for $25. All profits will go to two causes Billie cared about: children’s health and animal welfare. “We want Billie’s book to be in every school, library, hospital, home around the world and sell more copies than Harry Potter,” says her mum Danny. Billie loved the Harry Potter books. The poems and stories in this book are just as they should be from a 12-year-old girl, and are beautiful and sad for that reason.</p>

The titular poem from Hope has a line sadder today than it ever was, “Everything is perfect, the birds are chirping / Then within a blink of an eye / Everything goes wrong”. But the poem ends with what Billie’s parents cherish in their daughter, her cheerfulness, kindness, optimism, love and pure heart: “But there is, oh there is, a point, / If you make one.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This week I read JM Coetzee’s The Schooldays of Jesus, a sequel to The Childhood of Jesus. John Freeman reviews it on these pages so I won’t add a lot more other than I like the book a lot, and it made me laugh, which is not exactly the Nobel laureate’s modus operandi. Yet there is also a terrible event at its centre. The novel continues the story of David, a <b>boat</b>-borne <b>refugee</b> boy living in a strange country with his mother, Ines, and the man who brought him to her, Simon. This six-year-old is an extraordinary child, one who seems to think he lives on a higher plane. “Well, I don’t want to be human either,” he says early on. “There are times,” Simon says, “when I find his behaviour a little too” — he hesitates over the word — “magistral, too masterful.” And later he asks, “Why, why, why, when he is so full of life — of this life, this present life — is he so interested in the next one.” The boy repeatedly tells people that David is not his real name, Simon is not his real father, and in this book there’s a sense that he knows his real name. I’m no expert on the Jesus story, but I saw a lot of him here.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In J. M. Coetzee's new book, the child David is coached in mathematics by a water engineer. PHOTO: 123RF Elaborate dance in numbers and ideas</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">T he Nobel laureate J. M. Coetzee's new novel begins with an epigraph in Spanish from Don Quixote: "Some say that second parts are never any good." This can be seen either as a challenge or as an insurance policy, perhaps both. The Schooldays of Jesus is a sequel to (or more accurately a continuation of) Coetzee's 2013 novel The Childhood of Jesus. In this "second part" Coetzee ensures that the main preoccupations of his earlier work are alluded to, although often in so oblique a manner that readers unfamiliar with it might well find themselves puzzled and perplexed. The Childhood of Jesus is a marvellous work. It tells of a boy called David, who always insists that is not his real name. He arrives on board a vessel - perhaps a <b>refugee boat</b> - at a port called Belstar in an unnamed Spanish-speaking country. During the voyage he was separated from his mother. Another passenger, a man called Simon, takes charge of the boy. Like everyone else arriving on those vessels, he has no memory of his former life or identity. Simon and the boy whose real name is not David make their way to the country's capital, Novilla, where the benevolent Office of Relocations does its best to accommodate newcomers and ensure them a simple, though adequate way of life. Simon is determined to find the boy's mother. Although he only saw her once, fleetingly, he is sure he will recognise her when the moment arrives. And he does so when catching sight of a woman on the tennis court of a secluded mansion. The woman, Ines, readily agrees to act as the boy's mother. Hers is not an easy task. The boy known as David is a wayward, difficult child seemingly possessed of unusual powers. He flies against convention by refusing to acknowledge commonly held truths - such as two plus two make four. That stubbornness causes problems once he starts (and stops) attending school, so much so that Ines and Simon decide to flee from Novilla to prevent prosecution for truancy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There The Childhood of Jesus reaches its end. The name Jesus never appears either in that novel or in its successor, yet in the earlier book, at least, allusions to events in the life of Christ as related in the gospels float up with ease and grace from Coetzee's lithe narrative, his wry but touching depiction of the strange relationship that develops among three very different individuals. Most notably, The Childhood of Jesus ends with a wonderfully imaginative version of the flight into Egypt in an ancient but sturdy motor car. The family arrives in a town called Estrella, where The Schooldays of Jesus begins. Estrella is "a sprawling provincial town" with a marketplace, administrative buildings and a "modest museum and art gallery" - the museum and the gallery will come to play an essential part in the narrative that follows. Simon and Ines find work as fruit-pickers on a property owned by three kindly old ladies - although one of them, perhaps the kindliest of the three, suffers from black moods that keep her confined to her room for days. The boy known as David runs wild with the children of the other workers on the farm. Soon the question of schooling arises. Simon and Ines cannot enrol him in a regular school because they see themselves as fugitives from justice and fear - unlikely though it might be - that the authorities in Novilla would learn of</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">their whereabouts. The sisters suggest a way out: a local water engineer, Senor Robles, would give David free instruction in mathematics. The first and only lesson goes badly as a consequence of David's refusal - familiar to readers of The Childhood of Jesus - to accept the immutable truths of mathematics. Next, the sisters suggest another solution. Estrella boasts of three private educational institutions: the Academy of Singing, the Academy of Dance and something called the Atom School - far too advanced for a boy of David's age. They offer to pay David's fees at the Academy of Dance. As soon as David enters the academy, The Schooldays of Jesus spins off into complexities, paradoxes and arcane lore of various kinds that render it overburdened and top-heavy, in contrast to the lucid simplicity of the earlier novel. The dancing taught at the academy has nothing to do with ballet or the dance floor. Rather, it consists of highly abstract and intricate sets of steps and positions that represent and activate the celestial world of numbers. The dance associated with the number one is the simplest; thereafter the intricacy of the dances rises in arithmetical progression. The director of the academy is a musician, Senor Arroyo. He spends his days out of sight of his pupils, playing elaborate improvisations. The day-to-day activities of the school are in the hands of Arroyo's beautiful but haughty second wife. Her name is Ana Magdalena; his is Juan Sebastian. I am not sure what this apparent allusion to Johann Sebastian Bach and his second wife is meant to imply. Perhaps it is a gesture towards the often voiced proposition that Bach's music is governed by strictly mathematical principles, as well as revealing numerological ambitions - a three- part invention, for instance, or a piece in E flat major (with three flats in its key signature) evoking the Trinity. Two of the novel's characters associated with the academy carry resonances from a very different source. One is a young, idealistic assistant called Aloysha. The other is the unkempt, darkly passionate, sardonic Dimitri, the head guard at the museum and art gallery next door. This is obviously an echo of The Brothers Karamazov - one of Coetzee's earlier works, The Master of Petersburg is based on Dostoyevsky's life and fortunes. Finally, at the climax of the novel, an itinerant philosopher called Moreno arrives in Estrella to deliver a discourse on the alleged founder of mathematics, an ancient philosopher who was called Metros. (Incidentally, I do not know whether it is significant that two highly regarded players on the international football circuit are Alberto Moreno and Joel Robles, the latter bearing the surname of David's hapless maths tutor.) Moreno's lecture, a heady mixture of mathematics, numerology, astrology and mysticism, is disrupted by David, who performs the most elaborate number-dance in the academy's repertory. This is, in a way, his transfiguration, the recognition he always seeks. In his dance he fulfils the power of his true name - which Arroyo claims to know. Could this be an allusion, I wonder, to Christ's dance in the heretical Acts of John (2nd century CE), a text banished from the biblical canon in 787, or even perhaps to Homer Simpson's notorious webpage? There are many fine things in The Schooldays of Jesus: vignettes of everyday life, an account of a nationwide census, and also a striking and extended Dostoyevsky-like episode dealing with a seemingly senseless murder and the murderer's quest for punishment. Yet somehow the novel struck me as inert, too contrived, too intent on abstruse paradoxes. At the end even the sceptical Simon, the man of common sense, joins (literally) in the astral dance. Perhaps the census at the heart of this novel hints at the emergence of the David's real name. Maybe Coetzee is planning to write a third part which might clarify this second part's conundrums and justify its lack of the naturalness and apparent spontaneity which distinguished its marvellous precursor.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">'Each time I enter my classroom, and the men assemble before me, I get an unmistakable feeling: that I belong here. If I were religious, maybe I would say that I had found my calling." During the period of increased arrivals that occurred under the Rudd-Gillard government, Adele Dumont took a job teaching English to <b>asylum</b> seekers being held in detention on Christmas Island and later at the Curtin detention centre in the West Australian desert.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Dumont, a French-born Sydneysider, worked with unaccompanied adult male <b>asylum</b> seekers during her rotations, becoming especially attached to a group of Hazaras, but also encountering Tamils, Iranians and Iraqis.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was a bold move for a recent arts graduate accustomed to living the share-house lifestyle in trendy inner suburbs. Apart from being a valuable insider account of what the policy of mandatory detention really does to people - refugees and staff alike - No Man Is an Island is the story of a young middle-class woman leaving her comfort zone and taking on a genuine challenge.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Horrors such as self-harm and even suicide among the detainees are not unknown, though what emerges most powerfully from Dumont's account is the forbearance and essential humanity of the <b>asylum</b> seekers, many of whom have fled unremitting hardship and persecution. The Hazaras in particular, as Dumont relates, are treated as despised outsiders in their own country.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Dumont works with limited resources within the strict regime of the detention centre. The uncomfortable climate and atmosphere of isolation, uncertainty and frustration among the detainees adds to the normal stresses of teaching. But the personal rewards for Dumont that come from making a real difference to her students are profound.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While for the most part the detainees are respectful of her role as their English teacher, Dumont notices how different the men are from her. "More than one man in Curtin tells me that I'm the first female he has ever spoken to who is not a member of his own family".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In addition to their kindness, courtesy and generosity, Dumont also encounters troubling attitudes towards women among a few of the detainees (and one or two of the male staff).</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At the same time, she discovers the refugees' non-Western view of gender roles may be sincere. "If I'd heard someone express these same ideas when I was at uni, I probably would have labelled them misogynist and insulting. But sitting here quietly with Zahir, Asad and Esmatullah, it never feels to me that we are debating, or that they are trying to convince me of anything. It's not just a question of being polite, there is an unspoken assumption between us that we come from different places, that we believe different things, and that this is OK."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Among her friends back in Sydney, Dumont encounters hostility to the notion that she would work at an immigration detention centre in any capacity. Such a knee-jerk reaction, she realises, is no more empathetic than the automatic prejudice against all refugees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I completely understand people's anger when it comes to Australia's policy of mandatory detention," she writes. "But it annoys me that often when I try to relate something about the individual men I have befriended, I'm met with outrage."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For many of us it is too easy to forget that refugees are no more or less human than anyone else. "<b>Asylum</b> seekers have become such a politicised and controversial issue that people seem unable to contemplate talking about the men simply as people, and not detainees or as victims or as <b>boat</b> people. For many Australians, <b>asylum</b> seekers' victimhood seems to override all other aspects of their identities."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Feeling alienated in Sydney after leaving her job, Dumont finds delight in keeping in touch with a few of her former students who move to the city to look for work after their release from detention.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The full emotional and intellectual effect of such a testing experience would only have been felt by someone naturally sensitive and thoughtful. In her almost painful honesty and intense moral scrupulousness, Dumont's prose reminds me strongly of the non-fiction work of Helen Garner.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">No Man Is an Island is essential reading for anyone who assumes they understand what the <b>asylum</b> seeker issue is all about, regardless of their opinion.</p>

He has endured plenty, including hunger strikes and the drowning of five friends after a failed attempt to reach Australia by <b>boat</b>. He understands the desire to prevent deaths at sea, but says leaving men in limbo on Manus can't be considered a humane solution.

His girlfriend lives 10,000 kilometres away, in the country he fled. He says his love for this woman sustains him on Manus, but he tells her few details about what his life is truly like. It's better this way, he says. As a child, Aadil knew he wanted to become a businessman and sold women's clothing in Iran before he says he joined anti-government protests. Business remains his passion.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We know from the experience of the Pacific Solution that leaving people in limbo on Nauru without hope of being able to rebuild their lives makes them feel worthless, depressed and suicidal.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We know this because the last substantial group from that caseload, many of whom were refugees, was only resettled in Australia when the resident psychiatrist warned she would not be held responsible if they took their lives.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Now Paris Aristotle, the man who investigated the plight of this group back in 2005, has issued a similar warning about those who have been on Nauru and Manus Island.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We also know about the damage done by separating <b>refugee</b> families, because this was also part of the Pacific Solution.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Back in 2003, it emerged that several men who had been recognised as refugees and granted protection visas had wives and children on Nauru who had arrived on separate boats in 2001.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Just like now, the Australian government refused to bring them together, despite strong representations from the <span class="companylink">United Nations <b>refugee</b> agency</span>, on the grounds that this would encourage people smuggling.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Just like now, those involved suffered depression so serious they could not function, whether they were families "free" in the Australian community or fathers and husbands on Nauru.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The ordeal of the families only ended when New Zealand agreed to resettle the families, having already taken a sizeable portion of those who were rescued from their sinking <b>boat</b> by the Norwegian freighter, MV Tampa.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Skype rings out once. Then twice, and then again and again for almost an hour. But there is no sign of Nayser, 63, who has been detained without charge on Manus Island in Papua New Guinea for what seems like an eternity. Nayser's wife stands silently in the room cluttered with toys and school books, her eyes lowered, waiting for a husband whose hand she last held in 2013.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Finally, the sing-song ring of an incoming call breaks the silence. Ahmed's lined face appears from Manus, one of the island's more than 900 <b>asylum</b> seekers who Immigration Minister Peter Dutton recently vowed will never set foot in Australia. His eyes glisten as he absorbs the faces of his daughters and wife on an iPhone.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Suddenly, his seven-year-old son darts towards the screen, holding a pair of two-dollar sports socks bought as a Father's Day gift the previous week. He wields the socks proudly before the camera. He then holds up a card for his dad that he has carefully coloured in.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He drapes his small arm over his mother's shoulder as she quietly weeps.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Some 3560 kilometres away, Nayser, who has been assessed as a <b>refugee</b>, relies on a camera the size of a button to peer into his children's lives, watching and listening as his daughters tell him about school and learning how to swim.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But for a quirk of fate, he would have been on the same <b>boat</b> as his wife and children. The vehicle that took them to the <b>boat</b> that was meant to carry them to Australia in July 2013 had no room for Nayser and the taxi that was meant to follow with him never arrived.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The trip from Indonesia was to be the last leg of a journey that began when the family fled Myanmar, part of an exodus of Rohingya, who the United Nations describe as among the world's most persecuted minorities.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A week after Nayser's children and wife reached Australia, the Rudd government made a surprise announcement. <b>Asylum</b> seekers who arrived by <b>boat</b> would now be flown to offshore processing centres.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While they are on bridging visas in the community, along with some 30,000 others, Nayser arrived soon after the Rudd edict and has been told his options are to settle in PNG or return to persecution - and that he will never be allowed to even visit Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He is not alone. <span class="companylink">Fairfax Media</span> is aware of many cases where some family members are in Australia while fathers, spouses, siblings, children and cousins are on Manus and the tiny, impoverished island of Nauru.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Human Rights Law Centre's Daniel Webb says Ahmed's case highlights the desperate need for a new approach that reassesses the impact on the mental health and welfare of those in limbo on Nauru and Manus against the policy objective of both major parties to deter people smugglers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Webb, a clean-cut, determined lawyer, recently travelled to Manus Island, to systematically document the human stories of <b>asylum</b> seekers. No one had done this before.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If any more evidence is needed to prove the shocking impact on the mental health of those on Manus and Nauru, a confidential 2015 intelligence assessment from Manus centre manager, Transfield, leaked to <span class="companylink">Fairfax Media</span>, puts it plainly.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"The sense of injustice that many transferees feel is tangible and continues to be articulated in terms of disbelief that they are on Manus, frustration with the policies that placed them on Manus and aggression at those responsible for applying those decisions.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"The mental health landscape across the MIRPC (Manus Island <b>Refugee</b> Processing Centre) is demonstrably linked to the processing environment and the notion that the transferees will not be going to Australia."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Among those who most moved Webb was Nayser Ahmed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Nayser told <span class="companylink">Fairfax Media</span> this week that his single aspiration is to reunite with his family. "It burns me inside. I don't have a life without them. The thing I miss most about my kids is sitting down to dinner together," he says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As the Skype call wraps up, Nayser's seven-year-old son quizzes him with confused urgency. "When are you coming? When are you coming?" Nayser says nothing as the tears continue to stream down his wife's face.</p>

She mentions the entrenched view that the north is neglected in favour of Queensland’s southeast. The answer is not to divide the state of Queensland in two but to get rid of one level of government. It’s widely accepted that Australia is over-governed. One solution is to abolish states and have two levels: federal and counties. County councils would look after local government matters. The federal government would look after everything else. Rates would be lower and arguments as to who is responsible for what would be fewer.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">LASTING LEGACY Matthew Condon’s feature about Legacy (“Spirit of service”, September 3-4) evoked memories of our family’s involvement with Legacy after World War II. My ­father was killed in New Guinea in 1943, leaving his 28-year-old wife with a two-year-old and a baby of three weeks. No doubt we became part of the “Legacy family” but I have no memories of the help given to my mother. For us as children, Legacy was a place – “Moorlands” at Toowong (in Brisbane’s inner west). Here, every Saturday morning, a large number of children gathered to play and learn handicraft skills. Dozens of people must have been involved in organising, sharing skills and ­caring for us. Later, my mother got a part-time job making lunches for Legacy committee members, then she became the dental assistant to the Legacy dentist. It is appalling that Legacy is still needed. But until humankind reaches a moral evolutionary level where war is not an option, may its ­compassion and practical help continue in the spirit exemplified by Brendan Cox.</p>

Many years ago when dogs roamed free and we lived in the country, he would ­answer the call of the wild every night and meet up with other would-be wolves. However he used to return home around 2am covered in mud and the sweet smell of death and decay. He was an inside dog, so I would get up and wash him thoroughly in the laundry tub.

Both governments have focused more on their bilateral dynamics, which amid differing values have resulted in an unstable relationship that blows hot and cold.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Since Indonesia’s anti-communist turn in the mid-1960s, Jakarta and Canberra have continued to favour the regional order that emerged after the US’ rapprochement with China.</p>

Its artificial islands and expansive claims, ruled invalid by the <span class="companylink">Permanent Court of Arbitration</span> in The Hague only to be dismissed by Beijing, are a shared concern.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As democratic middle powers that have enjoyed the security and prosperity of the existing regional order, Canberra and Jakarta have a shared interest in seeing peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific that is based on respect for international law and established norms of behaviour.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Creating a greater mutual understanding of how Australia and Indonesia share complementary priorities will help bolster a relationship in need of greater resilience against the inevitable bilateral waxes and wanes. Fortunately, this has become increasingly recognised by leaders in both countries.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, in his lecture at the <span class="companylink">Lowy Institute</span> in March, declared that the Australia- Indonesia relationship is “increasingly defined by similarities and complementarities more than differences”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He then followed by immediately pivoting to the region: “Now the greatest run of peace and prosperity this planet has ever known — centred right here on our Indo-Pacific region — was all made possible by the system of rules and institutions which the United States and its allies built from the ashes of World War II.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">These sentiments were echoed only a month later by former Indonesian president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono in a speech addressing this year’s Australian Defence White Paper: “Both Jakarta and Canberra are seeing more and more of their interests converging: in economics, regional security, combating terrorism, and others. There is plenty of space to build a stronger partnership between us. Indonesia and Australia can work together to promote a rules-based world order.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">However, demonstrative of the neglect the two countries’ geopolitical context receives, Yudhoyono’s speech was poorly attended, with no senior politicians in the audience.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Turnbull has started in the right direction. But without a broader recognition of the shared strategic priorities between the two nations, the relationship risks being run off the rails by the next <b>asylum</b> seeker <b>boat</b> or execution.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The bishop of the Catholic diocese of Parramatta has called on the church to accept homosexuality, lamenting that the faith is not a “trailblazer” against inequality.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Bishop Vincent Long Van Nguyen has gone further than the Pope, who has said God loves and accepts gay people.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Bishop Long said it was not good enough to treat gay people with compassion and then define their lifestyle as “intrinsically disordered”. The comments, del­ivered in a speech in western Sydney last month, are likely to cause consternation in the church hierarchy, which is against same-sex marriage.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We cannot talk about the ­integrity of creation, the universal and inclusive love of God, while at the same time colluding with the forces of oppression in the ill-treatment of racial minorities, women and homosexual persons,” Bishop Long said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It won’t wash with young people, especially when we purport to treat gay people with love and compassion and yet define their sexuality as ‘intrinsically disordered’. This is particularly true when the church has not been a shining beacon and a trailblazer in the fight against inequality and ­intolerance.” Bishop Long was appointed by Pope Francis in May to lead one of Australia’s largest dioceses.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The speech is in direct contrast to the views of his predecessor at the diocese, Anthony Fisher, who is now the most senior Catholic in NSW as Archbishop of Sydney.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Australian reported in May that Archbishop Fisher condemned the anti-bullying Safe Schools program as even more radical and dangerous social engin­eering than same-sex marriage, to which he is also vehement­ly opposed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Bishop Long fled Vietnam on a <b>boat</b> in 1979, eventually making it to Australia as a <b>refugee</b>. In his speech, he said the gospel showed that it was the holders of tradition who were often guilty of “prejudice, discrimination and oppressive stereotype”.“That is what Jesus consistently does. He has a habit of challenging ingrained stereotyped attitudes, subverting the tyranny of the majority, breaking social ­taboos, pushing the boundaries of love and redefining its meaning,” Bishop Long said. “He questioned the prevailing assumptions and stereotyped attitudes. He turned the presumed order of moral goodness upside down.”</p>
